Our fibre free grade Potassium Titanate is used as an additive in the preparation of welding rod fluxes, automotive friction materials and other industrial applications. It is frequently used as an ingredient in cored welding rod formulations as it results in improved metallurgical attributes and a better quality of weld. This is due to the enhanced arc stability provided by the Potassium Oxide and superior slag flow given by the slag-forming Titanate. Potassium Titanate is particularly renowned for its strength, stiffness, low dielectricity and wear resistance, which makes it absolutely perfect for use in the automotive industry. For example, it is often utilised as a friction additive in brake linings so as to increase mechanical strength and stiffness, with its resistance to high temperatures also being beneficial. The good thermal and wear resistance of Potassium Titanate, coupled with its strength and stiffness, also make it a useful ingredient for refractory materials and as a reinforcing additive for both plastics and metals.
Doping the Potassium Titanate with Calcium results in the molecules having a non-fibrous morphology, unlike our SD-grade material where the molecules take the form of fibrous needles. The lack of respirable fibres makes our FFC75 grade a safer alternative to fibrous Potassium Titanates.
