Key Facts
Primary Use Cases
Product Code: KIC-PNT-001
Also known as: Paint Extender, Whiting Powder, Ground Calcium Carbonate (GCC) Paint Grade
Synonyms: Chalk Powder, Coatings Mineral Filler, Calcium Carbonate Pigment Extender
High-whiteness fine calcium carbonate extender pigment for emulsion paints, primers, architectural coatings, and wood finishes in Kenya.
Available Packaging
Calcium Carbonate for Paints & Coatings serves as an economical titanium dioxide extender pigment that enhances opacity, dry scrub resistance, sheen control, and rheological viscosity in water-based latex emulsion paints, solvent-borne enamels, and textured wall finishes.
Processed from high-purity natural marble/calcite deposits to achieve high brightness (Whiteness > 96%) and narrow particle size distribution. Exhibits low oil absorption for optimum binder efficiency and scrub durability.
Inquire with your target paint formulation PVC (Pigment Volume Concentration) for recommendation on micron size.
Commercial Sectors
Kenya's paints, decorative coatings, and wood finish manufacturing industry requires pure virgin solvents, high-brightness extender pigments, and specialized coalescing aids. A formulation is only as good as its raw materials: low-purity thinners cause pinholing and blushing, while coarse fillers destroy gloss and opacity. KIKI'S supplies premium solvents, extenders, and binders to East Africa's leading paint makers.
Process Compatibility
Store in dry indoors conditions. Protect paper bags from rain, high humidity, and direct ground contact.
Use dust mask during high-speed disperser charging to control airborne particulate levels.
Rinse eyes with clean water. In case of inhalation, move to fresh air.
