SNOWHITE ®86 kaolin is ultra- white and ultra- fine calcined kaolin. It has been dehydroxylated by controlled heat treatment for removal of crystalline-bound hydroxyl groups and to improve brightness it is highly pulverized for better dispersion. The effect is the particle shape, chemistry and mineralogy of the kaolin is altered. This process produces a calcined kaolin with excellent optical and physical properties which are particularly suitable for the paint industry.

Celite™ is a functional additive made from flux calcined diatomite, acts as the function opacifying agent and multifunctional filler. Celite™ provides an optical, matting and rheological performance features. Celite™ is suitable to use in architectural paint.

OPACILITE™ is a high whiteness calcined kaolin produced by a special rapid heating process. This process creates large numbers of tiny, sealed voids within the kaolin particles, resulting in a low specific gravity and outstanding opacifying properties. OPACILITE™ gives a unique balance of dry hiding, opacity, matting and scrub resistance, making it the first choice for TiO2 extension in high quality matt and silk paints. OPACILITE™ is great to use in architectural paints, industrial coating, inks and general paints and coatings applications.

HBF is a premium brightness filler grade which, because of its fine particle size and high aspect ratio, finds application in good quality printings and writing grades where brightness, opacity and smoothness are prime requirements.
