SYLOWHITE^TM TiO₂ Extenders

SYLOWHITE™ Precipitated Silicate for the Paint and Printing Ink Industry

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
