Features Of Imerys Hydrite PXN Hydrous Kaolin

  1. Highly refined hydrous kaolin with consistent particle size distribution for optimal rheology control.

  2. Low abrasivity and high brightness (ISO 2470 brightness ≥ 88%) suitable for premium surface applications.

  3. Natural platelet morphology enhances film strength, opacity, and ink receptivity in coating systems.

  4. Controlled pH (slurry pH 6.5–7.5) ensures compatibility with water-based formulations and polymer binders.

  5. Low conductivity and minimal soluble salts support stability in sensitive industrial dispersions.

Typical Applications Of Imerys Hydrite PXN Hydrous Kaolin

  1. High-gloss paper coating for commercial printing and packaging substrates.

  2. Functional filler in water-based architectural and industrial paints.

  3. Reinforcing extender in vinyl acetate and acrylic emulsion adhesives.

  4. Performance-enhancing additive in specialty inks, including flexographic and gravure inks.

  5. Key component in pharmaceutical tablet excipients and cosmetic pigment dispersions.
