ZEOLUSTURE (Kaolin)

ZEOLUSTRE is highly refined kaolin having extremely ultra-fine particle size distribution and high brightness. The material is specially developed for applications, which require opacity and very high gloss. It is processed from specifically selected raw clay under very close quality control. The product is tested at various stages to very strict tolerances under standard test procedures.

ZEOLUSTRE is recommended as special extender in solvent based glossy paints It improves optical properties and effectively replaces Titanium Dioxide and other color pigments.

It can also be used for high sheen Water base paints.
