‌Key Features & Advantages‌

1. ‌Ultrafine Particle Size & Uniformity‌

   • ‌4000 Mesh Fineness (D97 ≤5 µm):‌ Enables seamless integration into coatings, reducing surface roughness and enhancing gloss.
   • ‌Narrow Particle Distribution:‌ Minimizes agglomeration for improved dispersion and stability in high-PVC formulations.
   • ‌High Surface Area (18–22 m²/g):‌ Optimizes pigment spacing and TiO₂ extension, reducing raw material costs without sacrificing coverage.

2. ‌Exceptional Optical & Mechanical Properties‌

   • ‌High Brightness (GE Whiteness ≥90%):‌ Delivers brilliant whiteness and opacity, ideal for premium interior/exterior paints.
   • ‌Low Abrasion (Mohs Hardness 2–2.5):‌ Protects processing equipment and extends the lifespan of mixers, pumps, and spray systems.
   • ‌Enhanced Film Strength:‌ Improves scrub resistance (ASTM D2486) and adhesion (ASTM D3359) in waterborne coatings.

3. ‌Superior Rheological Control‌

   • ‌Controlled Viscosity:‌ Thixotropic behavior ensures optimal flow and leveling, eliminating sagging in vertical applications.
   • ‌Low Oil Absorption (30–40 g/100g):‌ Reduces binder demand, enabling higher filler loadings while maintaining film integrity.
   • ‌pH Stability (6.5–8.0):‌ Compatible with a wide range of resins, including acrylics, epoxies, alkyds, and polyurethanes.

4. ‌Sustainability & Compliance‌

   • ‌Eco-Friendly Composition:‌ Free from heavy metals (REACH, RoHS compliant) and suitable for low-VOC, APEO-free formulations.
   • ‌Energy-Efficient Production:‌ Zibo Hongfang’s green manufacturing process reduces carbon footprint by 25% vs. conventional methods.

‌Applications‌

HY-T-80 excels in diverse coating and industrial applications:

‌1. Architectural & Decorative Coatings‌

• ‌Interior Paints:‌ Enhances opacity and touch-up uniformity in matte, eggshell, and semi-gloss emulsions.
• ‌Exterior Paints:‌ Improves weatherability, UV resistance, and dirt pickup resistance (DPUR) in elastomeric coatings.
• ‌Primers:‌ Boosts adhesion and filling power for wood, metal, and drywall substrates.

‌2. Industrial & Protective Coatings‌

• ‌Anti-Corrosive Coatings:‌ Acts as a functional filler in epoxy and polyurethane systems for pipelines, marine, and chemical storage tanks.
• ‌Powder Coatings:‌ Enhances flow properties and electrostatic spray efficiency in appliance and automotive finishes.
• ‌High-Temperature Coatings:‌ Stable up to 1,200°C, suitable for exhaust systems and industrial furnace coatings.

‌3. Specialty Coatings‌

• ‌Automotive OEM/Refinish:‌ Delivers smooth surface texture and chip resistance in basecoats and clearcoats.
• ‌Wood & Furniture Coatings:‌ Improves sandability and stain resistance in UV-curable varnishes and lacquers.
• ‌Printing Inks:‌ Provides rheology control and print sharpness in gravure and flexographic inks.

‌4. Beyond Coatings‌

• ‌Plastics & Rubber:‌ Enhances tensile strength and dimensional stability in PVC cables, EVA foams, and thermoplastic composites.
• ‌Adhesives & Sealants:‌ Improves thixotropy and gap-filling properties in construction adhesives and silicone sealants.
• ‌Ceramics & Refractories:‌ Serves as a fluxing agent in high-purity ceramic glazes and insulating materials.

‌Technical Specifications‌

‌Why Choose HY-T-80 Kaolin?‌

1. ‌Technical Excellence‌

   • Proprietary micronization and surface activation technologies ensure ultrafine particles with minimal grit content.
   • Dedicated R&D team for custom modifications (e.g., hydrophobic treatment, particle size tuning).

2. ‌Global Certifications‌

   • Compliant with REACH, RoHS, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and FDA (food-contact applications upon request).

3. ‌Cost-Effective Performance‌

   • Reduces TiO₂ usage by up to 20% in high-PVC formulations while maintaining opacity and color strength.
   • Extends shelf life of coatings by inhibiting pigment settling and phase separation.

4. ‌Sustainable Solutions‌

   • Recyclable packaging (25 kg multi-layer paper bags or 1-ton FIBCs) with moisture-proof liners.
   • Closed-loop water recycling system in production minimizes environmental impact.

‌Processing Guidelines‌

• ‌Dispersion:‌ Pre-mix with liquid media using high-shear dispersers (1,500–2,500 rpm) for 15–20 minutes. For solvent-based systems, add dispersants (e.g., polyphosphates) at 0.2–0.5% of kaolin weight.
• ‌Formulation Tips:‌
  • ‌Water-Based Paints:‌ Optimize at 5–25% loading to balance cost, viscosity, and film properties.
  • ‌Solvent-Based Coatings:‌ Use 3–15% loading with compatible wetting agents to prevent flocculation.
• ‌Storage:‌ Store in a cool, dry environment (<30°C, RH <60%). Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.
