Product Overview

 

Ultrex® kaolin has the highest opacity and tint strength of the KaMin kaolin range. A blue undertone ensures cleaner pastel colours and whiter whites. These ultrafine, high-brightness, kaolins are excellent choices for titanium dioxide extension and offer the formulator the potential for significant cost savings. 

Typical applications are decorative coatings (eggshell, satin and matt), inks and polymers. Read on for more information and get in touch with our technical sales team now to discuss this product range in greater detail.
