Opacilite™ - An Opacifier for Thermoplastics
Opacilite™ is a high whiteness 'flash' calcined kaolin, which gives excellent opacifying properties, high whiteness and low specific gravity. When used in combination with TiO₂, the colour and opacity of thermoplastics can be maintained and cost savings achieved.

Cost Effective Opacity - A Natural Alternative to Opaque Polymer
Flash calcined kaolin and opaque polymer are competing technologies that can exert a direct influence on the optical properties of interior decorative matte emulsion paint.
