Composite particles having hydrophilic and hydrophobic surface coatings

Abstract

The invention relates to composite particles, comprising a carrier particle and an at least partial surface coating, the carrier particle comprising a quartz and a layered silicate and the surface of the composite particle having at least one hydrophilic region and at least one hydrophobic region. The invention also relates to a method for producing composite particles, comprising the steps: a) providing carrier particles, comprising a quartz and a layered silicate, b) introducing the carrier particles into a mixing device, c) charging the carrier particles with a coating composition, d) coating the carrier particles with the coating composition by mixing the carrier particles with the coating composition, with the introduction of shear energy, e) subjecting the coated carrier particles to temperature. In addition, the invention relates to a mineral cast part or to a composite workpiece which comprises the above-described composite particles.
