ASP G90 and ASP - BASF Kaolin ASP G90-G92 SellSheet.pdf · ASP® G90 and ASP ® G92 are microfine...

At BASF, we nurture the seeds of

ingenuity. You’ll find it in how we apply

our expertise in surface and materials

science to an exhaust stream to

deliver cleaner air, or to crude oil to

transform it into gasoline. And our

ingenuity in performance minerals gives manufacturers the

edge they need in today’s competitive markets.

BASF is a recognized leader in the development and

manufacture of high quality mineral products for the paint

and coatings industry. Our surface and materials science

expertise has led to the development of a family of products

that improve performance and lower cost. These products

include Mattex® and Mattex® MX extenders, Ultrex® 98

kaolin, Satintone® kaolins and ASP® grades, as well as

Attagel® thickeners and Alsibronz® micas. Now, ASP® G90

and ASP® G92 high gloss kaolins join this list as two more

examples of how BASF products can cost-effectively

improve the performance and appearance of paints

and coatings.

ASP® G90 & ASP® G92high gloss kaolins feature:■ Up to 10% TiO2 reduction at equal opacity for

reduced total formula cost

■ Superior gloss and less haze compared with

competitive kaolin products

■ Lower cost and reduced VOC through resin reduction

■ Improved optical properties versus other competitive

kaolin products

■ Ease of dispersion

■ Better dry handling and less dusting

■ Improved mar and scuff resistance with excellent

clarity in clear varnish systems

ASP® G90 and ASP® G92High gloss kaolins

Product descriptionASP® G90 and ASP® G92 are

microfine particle size hydrous kaolins

produced by an innovative technology

developed by BASF and covered by

BASF US Patent Application

Publication 2006/0047047. This new technology produces

a very fine particle size product with a narrow particle size

distribution that provides high gloss and optical properties

that are superior to competitive kaolin products. ASP G90

high gloss kaolin is pulverized to provide ease of dispersion,

high Hegman grind and TiO2 extension in architectural and

industrial coatings. ASP G92 provides the same performance

in water-borne systems only and is available in spray-dried

bead form for easier handling and less dusting.

Application informationASP G90 high gloss kaolin is designed for use in architectural

and industrial, water-borne and solvent-borne gloss and

semigloss coatings. ASP G90 can also be used to provide

mar and scuff resistance in clear coat

varnishes without affecting clarity. ASP

G92 is specially designed for a broad

range of water-borne paints and

coatings.

Interior semigloss latex paint with ASP® G90& ASP® G92 exhibit:■ 10% TiO2 reduction

■ Higher gloss than TiO2 and competitive kaolin

■ Significant cost savings

■ Improved opacity versus competitive gloss kaolin

With ASP® G90 and ASP® G92 high

gloss kaolins, TiO2 loadings were

reduced 10% while maintaining

opacity and gloss versus the control

for overall cost savings. Compared

to the competitive glossing kaolin

product most commonly used in the industry, ASP G90

and ASP G92 provide better opacity (see Chart 1) and

significantly better 20˚ and 60˚ gloss (see Charts 2 and 3).

In addition, ASP G92 in spray-dried bead form is easier to

handle with less dusting.

Solvent-borne clear varnish with ASP® G90exhibits:■ Improved mar and scuff resistance

■ Improved chemical resistance

■ Excellent clarity

■ Better gloss than the competitive gloss kaolin

Historically, kaolins have not typically

been used in clear varnish coats due

to their adverse effect on clarity.

However, because of its microfine

particle size and very narrow particle

size distribution, ASP G90 high gloss

kaolin is recommended for use in clear varnish industrial

applications for improved abrasion, mar and scuff resistance

while maintaining excellent clarity. ASP G90 provides higher

gloss (see Charts 13 and 14) compared with the competitive

kaolin in this solvent-borne clear varnish formula.
