Airwhite

Airwhite products are manufactured from high whiteness, low silica, high purity natural Barium Sulphate. The manufacturing processes are contamination free ensuring the integrity of the finished product.

Benefits :-

Titanium dioxide spacing.
Reduction of resin and solvent demand.
Functional filler ‘bulking' properties.
Enhances the full brilliance of coloured pigmented surface coatings.

The Airwhite® range consists of a range of products commencing with Airwhite AW45, a 45 micron top size material down to the Superfine Airwhite AW3C, a 3 micron top size product with a mean (d50) of 1.3 microns. AW50/10S is a fines reduced product.

To ensure maximum dispersability and reduced re-agglomeration, the finer Airwhite grades are specially coated to reduce dispersion costs, improve fineness of grind and increase gloss performance - these products are denoted as "C" grade.
