Filler Material –
Reduces overall cost by replacing part of expensive pigments like titanium dioxide (TiO₂).
Helps maintain desired paint body without compromising quality for certain applications.
Improves Mechanical Properties –
Increases paint film hardness and abrasion resistance.
Enhances durability on surfaces.
Better Surface Texture –
Gives a matte to semi-matte finish in wall paints.
Suitable for textured paints, primers, and undercoats due to slightly larger particle size compared to fine grades.
Enhances Opacity –
Works as a spacer between TiO₂ particles, improving light scattering and opacity in primer coats.
Good Dispersibility –
Easily disperses in water-based and solvent-based paint systems, ensuring uniform consistency.
Moisture & Alkaline Resistance –
Improves paint’s resistance to moisture and alkalinity, especially useful in exterior paints.
