Translink® 445 is a fine particle-size calcined kaolin grade featuring high brightness. It has been dehydroxylated by controlled heat treatment to remove crystalline-bound hydroxyl groups and to improve brightness. It is highly pulverized for ease of dispersion and surface treated with an amino functional additive.

This product has a high-performance reinforcing extender designed to be compatible with polyamides, polyesters, epoxies, phenolics, and other polar polymers. Translink 445 reduces water absorption while increasing tensile strength, flexural strength, and the heat deformation temperature. It also improves dimensional stability when compounded in polymeric systems. Its fine particle size and low residue improve impact strength in engineered polymers.

Typical applications include polyamides (6, 66, and blends), TPE/TPO, epoxy, and polyurethane coatings.
