Calcined Kaolin

A paint brush painting yellow paint onto a wall

Product Overview

 

Satintone® calcined kaolin powders are industry-standard extending agents for titanium dioxide in coatings, inks and polymers. Cost reduction is achievable through judicious use of these products whilst properties like whiteness, brightness, hiding power, matting and scrub resistance can be maintained or even improved.

This product range is widely used in the wire & cable industry for acid scavenging in PVC compounds and more generally for improving electrical insulation under both wet and dry conditions.

Anti-blocking Agents for Plastics

Plastic films sticking together is a problem called film blocking within the polymer industry. This affects end users struggling to separate bin bags as well as manufacturers with production issues. Anti-block agents are designed to resolve film blocking, but choosing the correct one with organic, inorganic, synthetic and natural options can be challenging. Here, we break down what they are, how they work and how to chose the right one.
