PoleStar™
High performance titanium dioxide extenders for decorative matt paints
PoleStar™ calcined kaolin aluminium silicate
extenders from Imerys allow reduction of
the titanium dioxide content in high PVC
decorative matt paints, without loss of
opacity or hiding power.
This translates to savings in raw material costs
for the paint manufacturer.

The calcination process transforms platy natural
kaolin, a natural aluminium silicate, into a highly
structured particle that is ideal for improving
coating opacity.
It is particularly effective in high PVC decorative
matt paints. The structure of the particle increases
and optimises refraction and diffraction of light
passing through the coating.
This improves the light scattering properties,
reducing the interaction of light with the
substrate beneath.
