MINEX® functional filler made from nepheline syenite is proven to offer superior color development, tint retention, and durability to a broad range of paints, coatings, adhesives, sealants, and inks. When added to paints and coatings, MINEX® provides unparalleled durability and resistance to abrasion, fading, cracking, and aging associated with both environmental and chemical exposures.

IMSIL® microcrystalline silica fillers are produced from an inert, naturally occurring alpha quartz with a unique grape-like morphology. Finer micronized grades are useful in formulating higher gloss paints and systems requiring controlled particle top size such as Industrial OEM topcoat coats and non-conductive inks. Intermediate size grades offer ideal and uniform gloss control for topcoats, coil coats and increased inter-coat adhesion between primers and topcoats. Coarser grades offer high solids loading with low viscosity,  texture, anti-skid  and abrasion resistance in industrial floor coatings and exterior deck coatings.

TYTAN™ TIPT/TNBT/TET/EHT process catalyst series are the world’s leading products of homogeneous esterification and transesterification catalyst to typical users in plasticizer, acrylate and methacrylate manufacturers. TYTAN™ AP series adhesion promoter is specially designed for flexographic and gravure printing ink for flexible packaging films to improve adhesion and heat stability. TYTAN™ CX series cross-linking agents are designed to impart a shear reversible or thixotropic structure to latex paint and dispersion paint. Other catalysts are designed for polyester esterification catalysts and polyurethane catalysts.

SNOBRITE® air floated kaolin is a natural ultrafine kaolin offering semi-reinforcing, good color quality, effective TiO2 spacing, and cost-effective rheology modifier with inherent or natural plasticity and thixotropy.

JetFil® portfolio meets increasingly demanding impact resistance and dimensional stability specifications for automotive applications such as bumpers and body panels. The JetFil® product range features the finest and most efficient grades from the Magris Talc portfolio for automotive applications. When the melt flow of TPOs is increased, impact strength tends to drop. The impact strength of talc-reinforced polyolefins is directly linked to the particle size distribution of the talc and to how it disperses in the matrix. To overcome any density issues due to their ultrafine grind, JetFil® talcs are produced in compacted form to increase bulk density and allow maximum compounding throughput. Their compaction level has been adjusted to provide an optimum handling/ redispersion balance.

HIFILL® ground calcium carbonate fillers are produced from a uniquely occurring, high brightness calcite feedstock. Available in a range of particle distributions and packing configurations, HIFILL offers versatile filling options and cost effective performance in a broad range of liquid and powder coatings. With exceptional whiteness, HIFILL is ideally suited for use in brightly colored and contractor grade trade paints and masonry coatings. The low oil absorption of HIFILL can help maximize loading levels in either water or solvent based systems with only minimal impact upon viscosity.

PPG HI-SIL® synthetic amorphous precipitated silica products are among the industry’s most trusted and proven products.

DeMUL is a clear, colorless liquid that serves as an emulsifier for emulsifiable concentrates, microemulsions, concentrated emulsions, and oil dispersions. It has a saponification number of approximately 128, an acid number of maximum 1, and an iodine number of approximately 60 gI/100g.

Pergopak® organic matting agents and carriers are specialty products for the coatings, paint and agricultural industries. They deliver a good surface finish and soft feel effect that cannot be achieved with standard matting agents like silicas or waxes. For over 20 years, formulators have relied on Pergopak® to improve the rheology and performance of their coatings. In addition, Pergopak® is used as a carrier in the agricultural industry.

PPG LO-VEL® flatting agents comprise a comprehensive line of synthetic amorphous precipitated silica products that reduce the gloss (or flatten) coatings, paints, varnishes, lacquers, inks and other finishes. PPG LO-VEL® silica product portfolio has continually expanded to meet evolving formulator demands and now covers a wide range of porosities, particle sizes and other physical properties.
