Aluminium Silicate or Aluminosilicate having the general formula Al2SiO3, is remarkable for its use as filler and antisettling agent in paint and as semi reinforcing agent in rubber. In paints, it gives faster surface and through-drying in product which also stand up better to abrasive treatment. It gives excellent substrates for high gloss finishes as they ensure good levelling out. It act as anti-setting agents for pigments and fillers. The viscosity of decorative paints containing our product is highly constant over extended periods of time. Being basic, they also have positive effect on storage stability. In rubber it gives excellent properties in terms of tensile strength, modulus, and resistance to tear and abrasion. In food it is known as E number E559.
