OPAMAX 16

For coatings applications, this fully calcined, high brightness kaolin clay has excellent optical properties and low abrasion. OPAMAXTM 16, when added to a paint formulation, will allow for the greatest reduction in TiO2 compared to other kaolin clays. OPAMAXTM 16 also has better light scattering, thereby improving whiteness and opacity, allowing it to cost effectively replace more expensive white pigments. OPAMAXTM 16 is ideally suited for use in both waterborne and solvent paint formulations. For plastics applications, OPAMAXTM 16 is the ideal choice for use in f-PVC applications as a TiO2 extender. OPAMAXTM 16 has demonstrated its effectiveness as a functional filler and TiO2 extender in laminated and coated fabrics. Its whiteness, brightness, and tint strength can reduce TiO2 usage by up to 25%. It is effective as a white, high opacity pigment and UV screener.
