Socal® UP benefits in Emulsion paints
Up to 60 % TiO2 substitution (1 : 1)
Up to 40 % cost savings for the
Fillers Package
80 % carbon footprint reduction
compared to TiO2
3
Socal® UP in Emulsion Paints: Why ?
Emulsion Paints are water-based Paints for covering interior or
exterior surfaces
High quality modern Emulsion Paints must provide high optical
and aesthetical value while controlling the raw materials cost …
… Objective which is currently a challenge, considering TiO2 price
volatility
The innovative Socal® UP (“Ultra Performance“) offers exceptional
performance characteristics that enable it to be used as a substitute
for a majority of TiO2 in Emulsion Paints
