Opacilite™ Ultra For TiO2 extension and opacity in thermoplastics
- Excellent opacity
- High whiteness
- Lower compound cost
Opacilite™ Ultra is a high whiteness flash calcined kaolin designed for TiO2 extension in thermoplastic sheet and film. Used in combination with TiO2, Opacilite™ Ultra maintains color and opacity at a lower compound cost.
Imerys Opacilite™ Ultra is a high whiteness calcined kaolin produced by a new, patented rapid heating process.
This technique creates large numbers of tiny sealed voids within the clay particles, resulting in:
- Excellent opacifying properties
- High whiteness
- Low specific gravity
Opacilite™ Ultra is suitable for the partial replacement of TiO2 in LLDPE, HDPE and PS.
