Usage

Description

Tripoli is a soft, porous granular material that is produced by the natural decomposition of siliceous rock. It is composed of silicon dioxide/crystalline silica, which can melt to a glass at very high temperatures.

Uses

Used in Abrasive Industry:
Tripoli is used as a polishing powder and abrasive for various applications, including metalworking, glass polishing, and stone polishing.
Used in Filtration Industry:
Tripoli is used as a filtering material in various industrial processes, such as water treatment and air filtration.
Used in Pesticide Industry:
Tripoli is used as an absorbent for insecticidal chemicals, helping to control pests in agricultural and other settings.
Used in Paint Industry:
Tripoli is used as an inert filler and wood filler in paint formulations, improving the paint's performance and durability.
Used in Rubber Industry:
Tripoli is used as a filler in rubber products, enhancing their physical properties and performance.
Used in Soap and Detergent Industry:
Tripoli is used as a base for scouring soaps and powders, providing abrasive properties for effective cleaning.
Used in Oil and Gas Industry:
Tripoli is used in oil-well drilling muds, helping to maintain the stability of the drilling process and improve the efficiency of the operation.

Potential Exposure

Cristobalite is used in the manufacture of water glass, refractories, abrasives, ceramics and enamels. Quartz is used as a mineral, natural or synthetic fiber. Tridymite is used as a filtering and insulating media and as a refractory material for furnace linings. Workers are potentially exposed to crystalline silica in such industries as granite quarrying and cutting, foundry operations; metal, coal, dentistry, painting, and nonmetallic mining; and manufacture of clay and glass products.

Incompatibilities

Violent reactions with powerful oxidizers: fluorine, chlorine trifluoride; manganese trioxide; oxygen difluoride, hydrogen peroxide, etc.; acetylene; ammonia.

Waste Disposal

Sanitary landfill
