HEXAPOL (Calcined Kaolin)

HEXAPOL is an amorphous meta-kaolin produced by Calcination of high quality kaolin under controlled conditions. During calcination, kaolin loses its water of crystallization and forms an unique filler for plastic and rubber industry. The low moisture content and low water absorption of HEXAPOL enhance the insulation properties of plastic and rubber compounds.

HEXAPOL is recommended as performance filler to improve the volume resistivity of medium and high voltage PVC cable compounds.
