Features Of BASF ASP 072 Hydrous Kaolin

  1. Highly dispersible hydrous kaolin with optimized particle size distribution for improved rheology control.

  2. Low abrasivity and excellent chemical inertness, ensuring compatibility with sensitive polymer systems.

  3. Consistent brightness (ISO 2847) and low iron content for enhanced whiteness in demanding pigment applications.

  4. Controlled surface chemistry enabling strong interfacial interaction in water-based coatings and adhesives.

  5. Free-flowing, dust-reduced powder form for safe and efficient handling in industrial processing environments.

Typical Applications Of BASF ASP 072 Hydrous Kaolin

  1. Water-based architectural and industrial coatings requiring opacity, sheen control, and scrub resistance.

  2. Printing inks—especially flexographic and gravure formulations—where high gloss and print fidelity are critical.

  3. Paper coating and filling to improve surface smoothness, ink receptivity, and optical properties.

  4. Plastic compounds (e.g., PVC, PP) for dimensional stability, heat resistance, and matte finish enhancement.

  5. Adhesives and sealants where controlled viscosity, suspension stability, and filler reinforcement are required.
