E500 kaolin
Product Description
E500 is a premium coarse shape-engineered kaolin designed for CWF pre-coat applications that work particularly well when blended with blocky co-pigments such as GCC.
Application
E500 was designed to provide coating coverage and build coating bulk in pre-coating or low gloss applications. The improved coverage may allow the papermaker to reduce calendering or produce a rougher base sheet, thus improving sheet bulk.
Shipping
E500 is available in slurry, dry bulk and 1000 kg bag. For more information regarding shape-engineered coating clays, please contact us.
