2 Unique Portfolio of Titanium Dioxide Performance Enhancers OPACIFYING CALCIUM CARBONATE FILLERS HELP TO DEVELOP THE FULL POTENTIAL AND PERFORMANCE OF YOUR TITANIUM DIOXIDE IN A WIDE RANGE OF WATER BASED AND SOLVENT BASED PAINT FORMULATIONS. SPACING 95 MATT INTERIOR INTERIOR EXTERIOR GLOSS SEMIGLOSS DRY HIDING Dry Hiding & Opacity Dry hiding and opacity are deter hiding is typically observed in paints mined by the result of a series of with pigment volume concentration complex interactions. These proper (PVC) above the critical pigment ties are significantly influenced by the volume concentration (CPVC). These amount of titanium dioxide, extender formulations typically result in poor type, size, and volume, pigment wet hiding, since the air voids in the volume concentration, spreading rate, paint film are filled with water. and porosity. Each of these factors have a direct impact on light ab Omyabrite 100 modified calcium sorption, scattering, and reflectance, carbonate provides excellent dry which are also contributors to the hiding and opacity over a wide PVC hiding power. range in matt emulsion paints due to its porous structure. Omyabrite 100 Entrapped air in a paint film also is a unique opacifying filler produced contributes to dry hiding and opacity. with patented Omya MCC technolo This is possible in formulations that gy based on natural ground calcium do not contain titanium dioxide, due carbonate. Omyabrite provides an to the interfaces between filler parti opportunity for significant reduction cles and air providing sufficient differ of the TiO2 content in a broad PVC ence of refractive indices; this effect range of emulsion paints without is called dry hiding. This type of dry compromising dry hiding and opacity. 2 By dry hiding By spacing

High quality dead matt interior emulsion paint, pvc = 65; Significant reduction of TiO2, and replacement of PCC Reduction of CO2 provides the ability to lower total formula raw material cost, and also results in a lower carbon foot print.

4 Spacing of Titanium Dioxide The extraordinary hiding power of crowding of TiO2 particles in the titanium dioxide is due to its high paint film by spacing the TiO2 parti refractive index; 2.7 for Rutile, and cles for Anatase TiO2. In addition to refractive index, particle size is an Titanium dioxide spacing is most important factor for the performance efficient in paint systems formulated of TiO2. Ultrafine and submicron below critical pigment concentra fillers based on natural ground tion, and containing relatively high calcium carbonate are able to TiO2 contents. prevent reagglomeration, or 0.μm TiO2particle 0.μm TiO2particle 0.μm TiO2particle 5μm filler particle 0.9μm filler particle < 0.5μm filler particle Smaller particle size Improved spacing effect Omyacarb Extra and Omyacoat, Omyacarb Extra provides excellent are well known trade names of properties in both, emulsion based our range of ultrafine calcium decorative paints and solvent based carbonates. These products are industrial coatings. the benchmark for ground calcium carbonate spacing fillers. Omyacoat 20 is a superior choice for water based and solvent based Each product is tailor made for a systems as a versatile opacifier with an specific application; outstanding price performance ratio.

5 Omyacarb Extra KA IN HIGH PVC MATT DECORATIVE PAINTS The use of Omyacarb Extra KA allows an optimization of the titanium dioxide content based on the opacifying effect provided by its ultra fine particles. In formulations Raw Material above the critical pigment volume concentration the titanium dioxide content can be significantly reduced without compromising the dry opacity. Omyacarb Extra KA can be used in matt and semimatt paints. In formulations with very low Sheen levels of 2 (example given below) it is recommend to combine Omya Optimized 1 Optimized 2 Parts by weight Water and Additives Tronox CR Omyacarb 2 2 Omyacarb Omyacarb Extra KA carb Extra KA with a coarser product.
