BASF ASP 802 Hydrous Kaolin

BASF ASP 802 Hydrous Kaolin is a high-purity, plate-like kaolin clay from BASF’s ASP series, engineered for rheology control and enhanced suspension in water-based coatings, inks, and adhesives. Its optimized particle size distribution and surface chemistry deliver superior opacity, gloss retention, and shear-thinning behavior without compromising viscosity stability or dispersion efficiency.

Features Of BASF ASP 802 Hydrous Kaolin

  1. Highly purified natural hydrous kaolin with low soluble salt content for enhanced formulation stability.

  2. Optimized particle size distribution delivering excellent suspension and rheological control in aqueous systems.

  3. Consistent brightness (>85% ISO) and whiteness, supporting high-opacity, clean-color performance in pigmented systems.

  4. Low abrasivity and gentle handling characteristics, suitable for sensitive applications including personal care and pharmaceuticals.

  5. Excellent dispersibility in water without requiring high-shear pre-treatment, reducing processing energy and time.

Typical Applications Of BASF ASP 802 Hydrous Kaolin

  1. Water-based architectural coatings and interior wall paints.

  2. Printing inks—especially flexographic and gravure formulations requiring high gloss and smooth film formation.

  3. Personal care products including facial masks, toothpaste, and body powders.

  4. Pharmaceutical tablet excipients as a glidant and filler in direct compression processes.

  5. Plastic masterbatches for polyolefin films requiring controlled opacity and improved surface finish.
