Optimizing DEG Aluminum Paste for AAC Production

How Fiver Star New Materials Fine-Tunes DEG Aluminum Paste Characteristics

DEG (diethylene glycol) aluminum paste serves as a crucial additive in building materials, playing a vital role in the production of AAC blocks. At Fiver Star New Materials, we precisely adjust the characteristics of our aluminum paste to suit your AAC production needs ideally. We achieve this through:

Production Process Adjustments:

• Raw Material Selection and Treatment: We meticulously select high-purity, uniformly sized aluminum powder, ensuring consistent reactivity and bubble quality. For instance, we use high-purity aluminum ingots and then process them through melting, atomization, and sieving to obtain the ideal particle size. We also apply appropriate surface treatments to the aluminum powder, such as adding stearic acid, to prevent oxidation during the ball milling process and enhance chemical stability.
• Controlling the Milling Process: By adjusting the ball milling time and the amount of grinding aids, we precisely control the particle size and morphology of the aluminum powder. Generally, slightly longer milling times and increased usage of grinding aids result in finer and more consistent aluminum powder particle sizes, thereby enhancing activity and gas generation characteristics. For example, we maintain the d97 particle size of our aluminum powder between 280-630 μm to achieve optimal gas evolution.
• Selecting Solvents and Additives: Our careful selection of suitable solvents and additives is crucial to the performance of aluminum paste. DEG is a commonly used solvent due to its good solubility and compatibility with aluminum powder. We also incorporate appropriate thickeners and dispersants to enhance the dispersion stability of our aluminum paste, preventing aluminum powder agglomeration and sedimentation.

  

Performance Testing and Evaluation:

• Gas Generation Testing: We utilize gas generation testers to measure the gas volume and rate of our aluminum paste over a set period. This ensures our product meets your AAC block production requirements for gas output and speed. Typically, we aim for a gas volume of at least 100 ml per gram of aluminum paste, with a moderate gas generation rate, to ensure uniform bubble formation and stable existence.
• Assessing Slurry Stability: We meticulously observe our aluminum slurry for stratification and sedimentation during storage and use, rigorously evaluating its stability to ensure optimal performance. We use centrifuges to process the aluminum slurry and measure parameters, such as the sedimentation ratio, to determine its stability. Additionally, we check the viscosity and density of the aluminum slurry, ensuring excellent flowability and workability during your production.
• Compatibility Testing: We conduct thorough compatibility tests by mixing our aluminum slurry with other raw materials, such as cement, lime, and fly ash. We observe for flocculation or stratification, which would indicate poor compatibility. If necessary, we adjust our aluminum paste formulation or the processing of raw materials. For example, adding appropriate water-reducing agents or other admixtures can improve the compatibility of our aluminum slurry with cement and other materials.

  

Production Process Control:

• Batching and Mixing: In AAC block production, we emphasize strictly adhering to the formulation ratios when adding our aluminum paste, ensuring thorough and uniform mixing with other raw materials. We recommend using forced mixers to disperse the aluminum paste, promoting uniform bubble generation.
• Pouring and Aeration: Controlling pouring speed, slurry temperature, and humidity during pouring is crucial for successful gas generation from our aluminum paste within the slurry. Pouring too quickly or at too high a slurry temperature can lead to rapid gas evolution and excessive bubbling, which may cause slurry collapse. Conversely, pouring too slowly or at too low a slurry temperature might result in insufficient gas, negatively impacting the block’s pore structure and strength.
• Curing and Cutting: During the block curing process, strict control over curing temperature, humidity, and duration ensures ample gas reaction from our aluminum paste and optimal block strength development. During cutting, careful consideration of cutting methods and timing prevents damage to the block’s internal structure.

Post-Processing and Optimization:

• Quality Inspection: We conduct comprehensive quality inspections on the manufactured AAC blocks, evaluating appearance, dimensional deviation, compressive strength, and dry shrinkage. Based on test data, we analyze the impact of our aluminum paste characteristics on block quality, allowing us to adjust our aluminum paste production process and formulation promptly.
• Performance Optimization: We continuously refine our aluminum paste performance to meet diverse production needs and raw material characteristics. This includes developing new aluminum paste formulations to enhance gas generation characteristics, stability, and compatibility, as well as adopting advanced production technologies and equipment to improve production efficiency and quality consistency.

  

Mastering Aluminum Paste Blending Techniques

Fiver Star New Materials’ Approach to Consistent Aluminum Paste Blends

Achieving a consistent and stable aluminum paste blend is paramount. Here’s how we ensure excellence in our blending process:

Preparation Before Mixing:

• Equipment Inspection and Cleaning: We meticulously inspect our mixing equipment to ensure it is free from debris damage and operates properly. We also maintain a pristine working environment to prevent contaminants from compromising the quality of our aluminum slurry.
• Raw Material Pre-treatment: We conduct specific pre-treatments on raw materials, such as aluminum powder, including screening to remove lumps and impurities, thereby ensuring a uniform particle size. We precisely weigh and pre-mix other ingredients to guarantee accurate preparation.

Key Considerations During the Mixing Process:

• Equipment Selection and Parameter Control: We select the appropriate mixing equipment, such as three-dimensional mixers, V-mixers, or double-cone rotary mixers, based on production requirements and the characteristics of the aluminum paste. We carefully set mixing time and speed. Generally, we avoid excessively long mixing times and high speeds to prevent damage to aluminum powder and the generation of static electricity.
• Mixing Sequence and Addition Method: We first introduce some solvent or raw materials into the mixer, then gradually add aluminum powder and other additives. This prevents aluminum powder agglomeration, facilitating better dispersion and mixing of all components. We maintain continuous mixing during the addition process to ensure even contact among all components.
• Preventing Agglomeration and Dust Dispersion: Aluminum powder tends to agglomerate, which can lead to dust dispersion. During the mixing process, we add appropriate dispersants or surfactants to aid in aluminum powder dispersion. We also carefully control mixing speed and equipment pressure to prevent dust dispersion, minimize material loss and air pollution, and reduce the risk of fire.
• Multiple Mixing Steps and Intermediate Checks: For high-demand aluminum slurries, we employ a multi-stage mixing approach. This involves an initial mix, followed by partial removal for inspection. Based on the inspection results, we adjust the formulation or mixing process as needed. We repeat this process as necessary until we achieve the desired uniformity in mixing.

  

Post-Mixing Solutions:

• Homogeneity Testing: After mixing, we conduct thorough homogeneity tests on our aluminum slurry, utilizing chemical analysis and physical testing methods to ensure uniform distribution of aluminum powder and other substances within the slurry.
• Slurry Storage and Application: We store our blended aluminum paste properly, protecting it from reaction with atmospheric moisture and oxygen. Before use, we re-mix the aluminum paste to ensure its uniformity. We also strictly control the dosage and application rate of the aluminum slurry based on your production requirements.
