Why Kaolin

The role our kaolin plays in your coating formulation

Opacity & Hiding Power

High refractive index and platelet structure reduce dependence on TiO₂.

Scrub Resistance

Enhances film integrity and durability of the dried paint film.

Rheology & Viscosity Control

Controlled particle morphology stabilises viscosity for smooth application.

Low-Impurity Consistency

Batch-to-batch uniformity verified in our in-house QC lab.

FAQ's

Paint & Coating Kaolin — Common Questions

Kaolin acts as a functional extender that improves opacity, hiding power and scrub resistance while reducing dependence on higher-cost pigments like titanium dioxide, without compromising finish quality.

Our mid-brightness grades (88–90%) are suited to interior emulsions and primers, while our finer, higher-brightness grades (91–94%) are recommended for exterior and premium industrial coatings requiring greater durability.

We supply in 25 kg and 50 kg HDPE bags, 1-tonne jumbo (FIBC) bags, and bulk container loading for larger paint manufacturing plants.
