Paint & Coatings
IMERYS is a major supplier of high quality mineral additives to the paint, ink and coatings industries throughout the world.
Our portfolio includes calcium carbonate (marble and chalk whiting powders and slurries), kaolin, calcined kaolin , mica and feldspar.
Our minerals particle shape, size, colour and chemistry allow important paint properties to be modified, allowing you to control the quality and performance of your formulation.
As well as modifying paint properties our opacifying extenders can deliver significant TiO2 savings, while maintaining paint quality.
Paint properties we can modify significantly are whiteness, opacity and gloss. Depending on the formulation, our materials can also modify rheology, paint stability, stain resistance and barrier properties.
Use the Product Selector to identify Imerys products appropriate for your specific application and the property you want to modify. The product selector will present you with a range of datasheets and applications advice.
All of our products are supported by a high standard of technical service, product development and research from a team of highly experienced scientists and specialists in the use of extenders in the paint, ink and coatings industries.
