OPAMAX™ 16 is a fully calcined, high brightness kaolin clay that has excellent optical properties and low abrasion. OPAMAX™ 16, when added to a paint formulation, will allow for the greatest reduction in TiO2 compared to other kaolin clays. OPAMAX™ 16 also has better light scattering, thereby improving whiteness and opacity, allowing it to cost effectively replace more expensive white pigments. OPAMAX™ 16 is ideally suited for use in both waterborne and solvent paint formulations.
