Argavel

KAOLIN Because it is a mineral additive recognized for its whiteness and coating power, especially with regard to washability resistance, it is widely used in enamel paints, water-based inks and flexographic paints (used in packaging printing, newspapers, catalogs, etc.). Therefore, mineral fillers, such as Kaolin, influence paint formulations and their properties. It provides better opacity and greater film integrity of paints, which ensures washing resistance and high oil absorption.

In the paint industry, it is used as an extender, reducing the use of more expensive materials. That is, its use is indicated in paints that require greater resistance, especially those that are water-based, especially those applied outdoors or those that need longer maintenance time, such as those used on roads, for example.
