Tile adhesives, wall putty and construction compounds use fine silica (quartz) powder as a functional filler for strength, workability and a clean white finish. Shiv Mines and Minerals supplies high-whiteness silica powder in 100 and 200 mesh for these compounds.
Why silica powder is used in adhesives and putty
Fine silica powder adds body, controls consistency and improves durability in tile adhesives, wall putty and jointing compounds. High whiteness (84–87% in our lab analysis) keeps the finished compound bright.
