Features Of BASF ASP 102 Hydrous Kaolin

  1. High purity natural hydrous kaolin with low soluble salt content for enhanced formulation stability.

  2. Fine particle size distribution optimized for improved opacity and smooth film formation in coatings.

  3. Excellent suspension stability in aqueous systems due to controlled surface charge and particle morphology.

  4. Low abrasivity and high whiteness, supporting premium aesthetic performance in decorative and industrial finishes.

  5. Consistent batch-to-batch quality ensured through BASF’s stringent raw material sourcing and process control.

Typical Applications Of BASF ASP 102 Hydrous Kaolin

  1. Interior and exterior architectural paints requiring balanced rheology and scrub resistance.

  2. Industrial maintenance coatings where corrosion inhibition and pigment volume concentration (PVC) optimization are critical.

  3. Printing inks—especially water-based flexographic and gravure formulations—for improved print definition and ink transfer.

  4. Plastic masterbatches for functional filler applications demanding low conductivity and thermal stability.

  5. Adhesives and sealants seeking viscosity control, thixotropy enhancement, and reduced shrinkage upon drying.
