1 Paint & Coatings

2 Value From the Ground Up KaMin LLC has supplied solutions to the paint and coatings market for many years. KaMin s proprietary processing technologies and high quality reserves produce kaolin products useful in a variety of paint and coatings applications, including industrial, architectural, powder, and specialty coatings. Our products are beneficial to your formulation and your bottom line. Efficient TiO 2 Extension Barrier TiO 2 TiO 2 Kaolin Ultrafine kaolin s optimal particle size and platy morphology allow it to properly space titanium dioxide particles, leading to improved hiding efficiency without a reduction in gloss performance. Wide Range of Products KaMin s products have a wide range of particle sizes that offer various benefits. The geographic diversity of our raw materials and the innovative processes at our manufacturing facilities provide unique and consistent value-added products. Kaolin is chemically inert and impervious, making it useful for improving barrier properties. KaMin s ultrafine kaolin will allow for higher loading levels, when compared to coarser minerals, decreasing the permeability of the coating, while maintaining flexibility and impact strength. Maintain Gloss / Extend Resin KaMin s ultrafine clay is the premium extender in gloss and semi-gloss formulas. Particle size and platy morphology are optimized for extending more expensive pigments and binders while maintaining desired gloss levels. Service KaMin has spent nine decades exceeding customer expectations in both quality and service. Our technical service team, sales managers and customer service experts challenge themselves each day to find new ways to better serve our customers. They are backed by our research scientists, engineers, operations, and logistics teams, who work tirelessly to improve customer satisfaction. 1 Value From the Ground Up

3 Calcined Kaolin Calcined kaolin clay is produced when hydrous kaolin is heated to over 1000 C. The crystal structure collapses, and the material becomes amorphous. The rearrangement of the crystal structure of kaolin which comes with a loss of hydroxyl groups makes calcined clays harder, more abrasive and more porous than their water washed counterparts.

4 Ultrafine Hydrous Kaolin Polygloss 90 and KaMin HG90 are ultrafine, high brightness, hydrous kaolin products engineered to optimize your pigment performance. Narrow Particle Size Distribution Benefits Tightly controlled particle size and particle size distribution allow Polygloss 90 and KaMin HG90 to effectively replace a portion of titanium dioxide without sacrificing important properties such as opacity, gloss, or tint strength. Particle Size (Stokes Equivalent) 0.2 Microns Particle Thickness Milled vs. Spray-Dried: Which should I choose? KaMin s dry products are available in two physical forms, spray-dried bead and milled powder. Since kaolin is inherently hydrophilic, spray-dried products are only dispersible in waterborne systems with high speed mixing. Milled products are readily dispersible in any system, waterborne or solvent borne. After full dispersion, each spray-dried product will perform identically to its milled counterpart.

5 Paint Study Paints containing Polygloss 90 or KaMin HG90 along with reduced levels of titanium dioxide compare very favorably to paints containing TiO 2 alone. Similarly, when testing other properties, such as stain resistance, block resistance, reflectance, and viscosity, no significant variances were shown. Control (No TiO 2 Substitution) Contrast ratio Gloss, 60 KaMin HG90 (10% TiO 2 Substitution) Polygloss 90 (10% TiO 2 Substitution) If you d like to learn more about this study and other paint and coatings studies using KaMin kaolin products, please go to: innovations.kaminllc.com/paint-study or scan the QR code below Tint strength Viscosity, KU Substituting TiO 2 with kaolin by volume vs. weight There is a significant specific gravity difference that must be kept in mind when formulating with ultrafine hydrous clay. In order to maintain gloss, Polygloss 90 and KaMin HG90 should be substituted for titanium dioxide at equivalent pigment volume concentration. To maintain equivalent volume, one part by weight of TiO2 should be replaced with about 0.65 parts by weight of Polygloss 90 or KaMin HG90. Paint Study 4

6 Product Selection Guide Calcined Physical Form Average Stokes Equivalent Particle Size (µm) ph Oil Absorption g/100g Brightness (TAPPI) KaMin 70C Milled Powder KaMin 70C is a standard calcined clay used to build opacity in flat, eggshell, and satin paints. KaMin 70C will give better durability properties, including scrub resistance and stain resistance, than higher oil absorption calcined clays. KaMin 70C is well-suited to provide burnish resistance and excellent touchup. KaMin 2000C Milled Powder KaMin 2000C is a high-brightness calcined clay, and provides high levels of opacity in high-pvc paints and coatings. It is designed to give a good balance of properties, providing good opacity while maintaining scrub resistance. Ultrafine water washed Polygloss 90 Polygloss 90 is the premier extender in satin, semi-gloss, and high gloss coatings. Its high brightness, platy morphology and tightly controlled, ultrafine particle size distribution provide the best titanium dioxide spacing without an impact on color, or a reduction in opacity or gloss. Polygloss 90 s unique processing allows it to be easily dispersed in any coating system, waterborne, solvent-borne, or 100% solids. KaMin HG90 Milled Powder Spray-Dried Bead KaMin HG90 has many of the same advantages as Polygloss 90 once dispersed, including the excellent color and extension properties. It is supplied in a spray-dried form, which allows for more efficient shipping, lower dusting, and improved flowability and handling. KaMin HG90 may be dispersed in waterborne systems under high shear. Fine water washed KaMin 90/90B Milled Powder/Spray-Dried Bead KaMin 90 is a standard brightness extender recommended for intermediate to high gloss coatings. Its particle size distribution is excellent for dense particle packing, allowing efficient use of resin and good barrier properties. KaMin 80/80B Milled Powder/Spray-Dried Bead KaMin 80 is an economical extender for satin and semi-gloss paints and coatings. It provides cost effective extension of titanium dioxide and resin. KaMin 611 Spray-Dried Bead KaMin 611 is an extender designed for systems where low ph or low soluble salt content is desirable. KaMin 611 s low ph and custom dispersant package make it more suitable for use in e-coat systems. Coarse/delaminated water washed KaMin 35/35B Milled Powder/Spray-Dried Bead KaMin 35 is the coarsest clay product offered by KaMin. The low oil absorption and low binder demand make KaMin 35 effective at extending low gloss paints and primers, as well as stains and other pigmented coatings. Its minimal impact on viscosity is useful in low-voc coatings. The blocky, large particles provide micro-surface roughness, leading to improved inter-coat adhesion. Polyplate P01/P Polyplate P01 is a standard particle size, delaminated clay suited for use in flat to semi-gloss coatings. It is a useful extender in primers as well as anywhere barrier properties are desired. Polyplate HMT Milled Powder/Spray-Dried Bead Spray-Dried Bead Polyplate HMT is a coarse, delaminated, spray-dried clay product suitable for use in flat and eggshell paints and coatings. The large, platy particles provide good physical coating properties, as well as some light scattering in systems with a low pigment loading level, such as stains Product Selection Guide
