The 4th Conference on Innovative Technology and Industrial Development of Non-metallic Mineral Materials concluded successfully in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province. Centered on the theme “Minerals · New Momentum · New Materials · Industrial Leadership · Industrial Co-creation”, the conference focused on the green upgrading, technological innovation and coordinated industrial development of non-metallic mineral materials. It brought together industry experts, key enterprises and research institutions nationwide to explore new opportunities for the industry. Zhejiang Haishen New Materials Co., Ltd. was invited to attend the event. Mr. Xiao, the company’s core technical engineer, delivered a special technical speech on stage to share cutting-edge achievements in modification technology.
During the speech, Engineer Xiao focused on the functions and application effects of cellulose in bentonite systems. Combining industry pain points and practical application experience, he thoroughly analyzed the core principles and technical advantages of cellulose modification in improving the quality and efficiency of bentonite. Bentonite boasts excellent adsorption and swelling properties, yet pure bentonite systems suffer from drawbacks such as poor stability, easy delamination and limited rheological performance. By contrast, cellulose forms a stable three-dimensional network structure with the interlayer structure of bentonite, which effectively optimizes the overall performance of materials.
He introduced that after adding cellulose, the thickening, suspending and stabilizing properties of bentonite slurry are greatly improved. It can effectively prevent material sedimentation and delamination, optimize rheological construction performance, and significantly boost the bonding strength and anti-scour capacity of the system. It is suitable for high-end application scenarios in many fields including building materials, drilling and environmental adsorption. This modification technology features simple procedures, low carbon emissions and environmental friendliness, which conforms to the development trend of refinement, high value addition and green development in the non-metallic mineral industry.
Its participation and presentation at this conference fully demonstrated Zhejiang Haishen New Materials’ technical accumulation and innovative strength in the field of non-metallic mineral modification. Going forward, the company will keep deepening R&D and innovation of new mineral materials, focus on the industrialization of technical achievements, strengthen industry-wide exchanges and cooperation among enterprises, universities and research institutes, and fuel the high-quality and sustainable development of the non-metallic mineral industry with premium technologies and products.
