COLOURS
SNOWHITE® 80 (SW80) kaolin is ultra-white and ultra-fine calcined kaolin. It has been dehydroxylated
by controlled heat treatment for removal of crystalline-bound hydroxyl groups and to improve
brightness it is highly pulverized for better dispersion. The effect is the particle shape, chemistry
and mineralogy of the kaolin is altered. This process produces a calcined kaolin with excellent
optical and physical properties which are particularly suitable for the paint industry.
Particle Size (-2μm, %): 80-84
SNOWHITE® 86 (SW86) kaolin is ultra-white and ultra-fine calcined kaolin. It has been dehydroxylated
by controlled heat treatment for removal of crystalline-bound hydroxyl groups and to improve
brightness it is highly pulverized for better dispersion. The effect is the particle shape, chemistry
and mineralogy of the kaolin is altered. This process produces a calcined kaolin with excellent
optical and physical properties which are particularly suitable for the paint industry.
