OPAMAX™ 16 is 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.

DecoFlake is produced from specially selected mica. This material is chemically and color stable to temperature in excess of 800°C. The opacity of the flakes is sufficiently high to retain the reflectance in both aqueous and polymer based systems. Deco-Flake is available in 4 sizes and in 4 different colors, Bronze, Champagne, Gold, and Silver. DecoFlake special-effect colorants are naturally colored so the color is present throughout the flake, which ensures consistency, even in the most aggressive production processes. They are also resistant to chemicals, heat and natural elements. In addition, Deco-Flake is FDA and food contact compliant, which gives them almost limitless use in a wide variety of applications, including: Epoxy/Resins Solid Surfaces Cements Thermosets Paints Coatings

Vitro Minerals LA-800(1) are functional fillers and extenders produced from clean, post-industrial, glass feedstocks. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy confirms that the LA Glass calcium aluminosilicate powders are fully amorphous and contain no crystalline silica. The glass chemistry results in relative chemical inertness, making LA Glass resistant to blooming, blistering, or chemical degradation in harsh environments. LA Glass powders enhance a wide range of paints, coatings, plastics, and adhesives. High consistent brightness, tint retention and stain/scrub resistance can be achieved in most paint and coating systems. LA Glass powders have low oil absorption and can be easily dispersed in water- or solvent-based systems. The feedstocks are certified post-industrial and are free from contaminants associated with post-consumer curbside glass.

Specularspecial-effect colorants are color-coated natural mica in a carefully controlled process. The standard colors; black, blue, green, or red are just the beginning. These products can be color matched to satisfy even the most difficult standards. Most grades are FDA-compliant, Ref.: 21 CFR175.300. And 21 CFR 178.3297 Specularproducts are used where food contact or FDA compliance is required. They are available in the standard range of colors but can also be color matched to your particular requirements. Specularmicas are ideal for many applications, including: Cements Epoxy/Resins Paints Coatings
