Pigments & Paints
Product list
Potassium Chloride
In the TiO₂, pigments, and paints industry, potassium chloride (KCl) is used in the production of titanium dioxide (TiO₂) as part of the chloride process. It helps in purifying titanium ores and optimizing the formation of high-purity TiO₂, which is a critical white pigment in paints. Its role in controlling the ionic balance during pigment production ensures the high-quality and brightness of the TiO₂ used in coatings and paints.
Potassium Carbonate
Potassium carbonate (K₂CO₃) is used as a buffering agent and pH stabilizer in the manufacturing of pigments and paints. It helps maintain the stability and dispersion of pigments within the paint formulations, ensuring consistent color and smooth application. Additionally, potassium carbonate can assist in reducing the viscosity of paint systems, improving handling and coating performance.
Potassium Sulphate
Potassium sulphate (K₂SO₄) is applied in the pigment and paint industry as a dispersing agent and filler. It helps in improving pigment dispersion, preventing clumping, and enhancing the overall texture of the paint. Its role as a sulfate salt also contributes to the stability and uniformity of paint formulations, ensuring better coverage and finish.
Magnesium Sulphate Anhydrous
Magnesium sulphate anhydrous (MgSO₄) is used in the pigment and paint industry as a drying agent and filler. It helps absorb excess moisture in paint formulations, speeding up drying times and preventing defects like blistering or cracking. Additionally, it serves as a stabilizer, enhancing the texture and spreadability of pigments within coatings.
Xanthan Gum
Xanthan gum is utilized as a thickening and stabilizing agent in paint formulations. It enhances the viscosity of paints, ensuring that pigments are evenly suspended and that the paint maintains its consistency during storage and application. This helps in achieving smooth, uniform coats with better coverage and flow properties, especially in water-based paints.
