BLANC FIXE MICRO

BLANC FIXE micro® synthetic barium sulfate is largely free of impurities (e.g. quartz) and is produced from highly purified solutions in a defined growth process. The product is organically treated and resistant to acids and alkalis, insoluble in water and organic solvents.
It is color neutral due to low refractive index (1.64 of BaSO4), has extremely narrow particle size range for high gloss specifications and high brilliance in colored systems. The low specific surface area (<5m2/g) and low abrasiveness (due to Mohs hardness of ca. 3) make BLANC FIXE micro® synthetic barium sulfate easy to wet and disperse. The Benefits of the Product Include: - Acting as spacers for TiO2 and color pigments and providing stabilization against flocculation, it is possible to achieve higher solid contents in dispersions. -Light fastness and weather resistant -Assisting gloss adjustment, rheology control and enhancing mechanical properties.
