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.
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.
