Kaolin SRM 1.15

Kaolin SRM‑1.15 is a mineral extender with high whiteness for water-based paints and coatings. It helps improve hiding power and optical properties, offering greater flexibility in developing quality formulations with efficient use of raw materials.

It functions as an opacifying extender and can be used for the partial replacement of titanium dioxide (TiO₂), particularly in water-based semi-gloss formulations.

Benefits in paint formulations:

• High whiteness: With a raw material whiteness of 97 ± 1%, it is a suitable choice for formulations requiring a clean white appearance.
• Supports hiding power: Helps improve the optical properties of the coating, working alongside TiO₂.
• Formulation flexibility: The potential to partially replace TiO₂ gives manufacturers more options for adapting formulations to the requirements of the finished product.
• Potential cost optimization: Supports the development of more economical formulations, aiming for the desired balance of appearance, hiding power and performance.

The appropriate dosage and TiO₂ replacement level depend on the formulation and the desired properties of the finished paint.
