Ultrex 96
Ultrex 96
Ultrex® 96 kaolin is an ultra-fine particle-size engineered grade featuring ultra-high brightness. It has been dehydroxylated by controlled heat treatment for the removal of crystalline-bound hydroxyl groups and to improve brightness. Ultrex 96 kaolin is highly pulverized for better dispersion.
This product is used when the highest degree of whiteness and reflectance is desired. Its fine particle size allows it to provide high opacity and tint strength. It has a bluer undertone, which gives very clean pastel colors and whiter whites. Ultrex 96 provides excellent optical properties for TiO2 extension in coatings, rubber, and plastic compounds.
Typical applications: Water-borne and solvent-borne coatings, roof coatings, gravure packaging inks, screen printing inks, and as TiO2 extender in PVC pipe and other applications.
