Imerys TiO2 Extenders
World Minerals Logo World Minerals has recently unveiled 3 new flatting agent technologies for coatings:

1) NPD 1457:  "Next generation matting agent" has lower oil absorption and higher whiteness than standard DE matting agents, ideal for low-VOC applications.

2) CelTiX:  "Multi-functional extender" with excellent opacity along with good matting performance, enables partial replacement of TiO2 with less expensive fillers.

3) OpTiMat:  "Outstanding matting agent" with combination of 3D shapes and tight particle size distribution.  More efficient flatting properties than flux calcined grades.
Momentive Epikure™ Curing Agent 3388 is a low viscosity (425 cP), low color modified cycloaliphatic amine epoxy curing agent.  Excellent corrosion and chemical resistance, as well as good color stability.  Ideally suited for Industrial Maintenance Coatings and Civil Engineering Applications, including polymer flooring, secondary containment, caulks, grouts and mortars.

Epikure™ Curing Agent 3388
Imerys ImerSeal™ 75 is an ultra fine treated carbonate for moisture sensitive applications.  It offers a number of advantages for moisture cure sealants and coatings:  reduced dehydrating agent levels, reduced thixotrope levels and reduced pre-drying.
