Pigment  Extender

Tioxsil

Tioxsil is a super white pigment extender and opacifier for use in paints and polymer systems. It is used as a spacer for Titanium Dioxide. Tioxsil is a hydrated alkali earth metallic oxide silicate. Raw mined ore is initially heat treated. This is followed by semi-autogenous micronizing in order to propagate a combination of two and three-dimensional particles. The two-dimensional particles are high in aspect ratio offering excellent coverage. In combining this with a three-dimensional particle, ultimate crystalline duplication of host ingredients is achieved.

Tioxsil extends Titanium Dioxide by up to 15%. Tioxsil fully replaces calcined clays and precipitated silicates. Tioxsil contributes to thixotrophy, thus preventing sagging of paint films and settling of suspended solids in coating containers. Excellent for control of gloss, sheen or lustre within coatings.
