SYLOWHITETM TiO2 Extenders

SYLOWHITE™ Precipitated Silicate for the Paint and Printing Ink Industry

SYLOWHITE™

Through the use of SYLOWHITE™ SM 405 Silicate, the consumption of titanium dioxide can be significantly reduced without negatively affecting the hiding power and brightness of paint.

SYLOWHITE™ SM 405 Silicate is a precipitated amorphous sodium aluminum silicate with a particle size of less than 6.0 µm, and is well established as a TiO2 extender for coatings.

SYLOWHITE™ SM 405 Silicate is

  • a cost-effective titanium dioxide extender
    • replacement of up to 20% wt./wt. is typical in current systems

  • for a wide variety of paints
    • high quality water-borne building/DIY paints
    • high quality solvent-borne building/DIY paints
    • industrial coatings and primers

Application benefits include:

  • Application properties
    • stable viscosity
    • less settling
    • wash and scrub resistance
    • weathering resistance
  • Incorporation/formulation properties
    • problem free dispersion
    • reduces paint-specific gravity
    • reduces thickener requirements
  • Optical properties
    • improved opacity
    • improved whiteness
    • less yellowing
