Applications

Sierralite® 603HS is high purity chlorite mineral pigment. Chlorite disperses easily in waterborne coatings and produces a low viscosity in solvent-borne coatings. Sierralite® 603HS is a premium, white mineral pigment for use in airless spray-applied interior flat paints to provide excellent sheen control and resistance to color fade. Sierralite® 603HS provides outstanding resistance to mud cracking in low-VOC flat latex paints.
