Products in Decorative Paints, Coatings & Stains: Ceramics

Vertal® 202 is a highly lamellar talc/carbonate mineral pigment. Vertal® 202 provides a unique balance of prime pigment spacing (opacity), flatting efficiency, film reinforcement, anti-cracking, and barrier properties for architectural and decorative coatings. Vertal® 202 is recommended for architectural flat latex paints, contractor-grade flat latex paints, and high%PVC applications that require a brighter, 2-hegman, lamellar mineral pigment.

Nicron® 674 is an ultra-fine, high-purity microcrystalline talc. It is insoluble in mineral acids, hydrophobic, and non-abrasive to compounding and processing equipment. Nicron® 674 is used in a wide variety of applications, including interior/exterior coatings, color concentrates, adhesives, sealants, and thermoplastic polymers.

Nicron® 403 is a high-purity microcrystalline talc. The lamellar nature of Nicron® 403 enhances film strength and flexibility and provides barrier properties in architectural and industrial primers and topcoats to improve corrosion resistance and stain-blocking ability. Nicron® 403 is also used in paints to improve sag resistance and maximize prime pigment extension. Nicron® 403 is used in solid-color and semi-transparent wood stains to prevent tannin bleed and improve gloss uniformity without introducing abrasive characteristics.

Vertal® 503 is a highly lamellar talc/carbonate mineral pigment that provides a unique balance of prime pigment spacing (opacity), film reinforcement, anti-cracking, and barrier properties to architectural and decorative coatings. Vertal® 503 is especially suited for waterborne paints and primers where a 5-Hegman, low oil-adsorption, platy mineral pigment is required.

DARVAN® C-N Dispersing Agent is an ammonium polymethacrylate dispersant for mineral pigments and extenders used in both interior and exterior water-borne paints and coatings.

MICA-SOFT® 30 is a wet-ground silky pure mica small flakes.

Granomar™ granules are produced from the purest and best Carrara Marble available. The raw material is selected in the whitest quarries from the Apuan Alps (Tuskany). The quality results of the optimum properties of Carrara Marble for wall finishes: a low hardness but a high mechanical stability and a high whiteness with low transparency.
