Opacilite™ - A New Generation high performance Opacifier

Opacilite™ is a high whiteness calcined kaolin produced by a revolutionary new rapid heating process. This patented 'flash calcination' technique creates large numbers of tiny sealed voids within the clay particles, resulting in outstanding opacifying properties and a low specific gravity. The presence of these sealed voids distinguishes Opacilite from conventional mineral extenders.

Opacilite™ flash calcined clay offers the following important benefits in a wide range of paints:-

	High dry film opacity
	Good wet film opacity
	High whiteness and low yellowness
	Excellent scrub resistance
	Cost savings via reduced levels of TiO2 pigment
	Cost savings via reduced paint specific gravity
