A paint’s coverage, whiteness and finish depend heavily on its pigments and fillers. When those change between deliveries, formulators end up adjusting recipes – or worse, customers notice a difference on the wall.
Titanium dioxide is the main source of opacity and whiteness in most paints, and we supply both rutile and anatase grades. To control cost and add body, our customers use calcite powder and GCC powder as extenders, and china clay for matt finishes and improved suspension.
Getting pigments to behave
- PIDICRYL 6250 and PIDICRYL 6300J dispersing agents for stable, low-viscosity pigment slurries.
- Sodium hexametaphosphate for wetting and dispersing mineral fillers.
- Talc (soapstone) for improved sanding in putty and primers.
We supply paint, wall putty, primer and distemper manufacturers. Tell us your current grades and monthly volume, and we will quote comparable products.
