Opacifying agents
Cost savings
Formulators target the reduction or elimination of TiO2 for sustainability and cost reasons. by up to
Opacifying extenders from Imerys can reduce the total titanium dioxide requirement, 20%
whilst at the same time making savings in the raw material cost. Imerys’ opacifying
extenders allow the replacement of up to 15% titanium dioxide without any loss
of opacity or other key properties such as gloss and mechanical properties.
Most recently Imerys has developed new tailor-made solutions towards TiO2 free paints.
