Key Properties

Excellent Dispersion

Controlled particle morphology ensures smooth, uniform dispersion throughout paint and coating formulations.

Opacity & Hiding Power

High refractive index and platelet structure improve hiding power, reducing binder and TiO₂ demand.

Scrub Resistance

Enhances film integrity and durability, supporting long-lasting decorative and protective coating performance.

Cost Efficiency

Functional filler replacement lowers formulation cost without compromising coverage or finish quality.
