    Features & Benefits

    Properties

    Highest density of any extender

    • Contributes to particle packing density, allowing more solids to be added to the formulation
    • Exceptional noise absorption & deadening
    • Excellent filler in anti-chip coatings
    • Contributes to improved adhesion

    Extremely low solubility

    • Chemically inert
      • Not affected by acids or alkalis
      • Insoluble in water
    • Excellent filler in corrosion resistant and flame retardant coatings
    • Low reactivity with binders (extremely low magnesium & calcium oxide content)

    Excellent dispersibility

    • Wets easily in all systems

    Good scrub resistance

    • The wearing away or removal of a paint film

    Improved mar resistance

    • The resistance of a material to abrasive action

    Neutral pH: 6.0 - 8.5
    Rheology

    • Control of cross-linking
    • Agglomeration
    • Poor adhesion
    • Reaction times and set times

    Refractive index: 1.64 - 1.65

    • One of the highest refractive indexes for a filler/supplemental pigment
    • Good tint retention
    • Improved hide
    • Higher surface gloss
    • Improved light scattering and reflectance

    Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) Extender

    • (ExBar® W 1) can replace as much as 6% to 14% in some formulations

    Thermal stability

    • Thermal degradation does not occur until 2,876°F (1,580°C) centigrade
    • Excellent in heat resistant coatings
    • Reduced compound stickiness
    • Reduction in die swell due to increased melt temperatures in extrusion

    Excellent exterior durability and weather resistance (does not chalk or yellow)
    Extremely low oil absorption: 6 - 12

    • Low resin demand and reduction in needed binder, resulting in lower materials costs
    • Higher degree of impermeability, resulting in lower resin demand

    Low MoH’s hardness scale: 2.5 - 3.5

    • Grinds easily
    • Low abrasion
    • Minimal wear on equipment
    • Excellent sandability

    Radiation blocking

    • Blocks gamma radiation
    • Does not block microwave
