Dry Products

Microna™ 2 is a dry, extra fine, double classified natural calcium carbonate filler / extender designed specifically for use into paints, plastics, and mastic systems. In paint formulations, it contributes to titanium dioxide spacing for hiding and exterior durability. Microna™ 2 is also recommended for use in rubber, reinforced polyester, and plastisol compounds.

Typical applications include:

Microna™ 3 is a fine, dry, natural calcium carbonate filler / extender specifically designed for use in all types of coatings and paints. It provides consistent high fineness of grind readings and good gloss development. Microna™ 3 is effective as a value adding extender in rigid and plasticized PVC. Microna™ 3 is used at high levels in putties, caulks, and sealants because of its nominal oil absorption.

Typical applications include:

Microna™ 7 is a dry filler / extender pigment specifically designed for use in various rubber and plastic applications such as adhesives, putties, caulks and glazes. Microna™ 7 is a relatively low cost fine product that minimizes the problems associated with oversize grit and offers excellent economic performance. In paint formulations, Microna™ 7 contributes to excellent flow leveling and exterior durability. It can be used whenever a white fine particle size, low binder demand filler is required.

Typical applications include:

Microna™ 10 is a filler/extender pigment designed for use in paints, plastics, and mastic systems. Its low oil absorption makes it attractive for use with costly vehicles. In paint formulations, Microna™ 10 contributes to excellent flow leveling and exterior durability.

Typical applications include:

Microna™ BP 200 is a de-dusted filler/extender pigment designed specifically for building products. These products have several filler requirements as a common bond: brightness, low binder demand, uniformity, and suitable particle size distribution to accomplish excellent compactness and shelf life stability. It is specially formulated with the ultra fines removed to improve the performance of end products.

Typical applications include:

Micronatex™ sands are ground limestone sands designed specifically for use in architectural products, as a filler for cultured marble, and in textured paints.

All of these end use areas have several filler requirements as a common bond: brightness, low binder demand, uniformity, and suitable particle size distribution.
