Flat Out Better Paper...
Advance existing grades and create new grades

Contour™ Xtreme is a technological leap beyond traditional coating pigments - ideal for coated graphic paper and packaging grades. Developed in close cooperation with papermakers, Contour Xtreme utilizes Imerys’ deep understanding of the nano-engineering of pigment size and shape. Because Imerys scientists and applications engineers are multi-pigment specialists, the invention of this platy, shape-engineered kaolin pigment heightens carbonate performance, and is a logical progression in Contour’s evolution. Better smoothness, optics, gloss and print performance are assured.

Imerys is dedicated to helping papermakers engineer the balance of paper and print properties, by optimizing base paper quality and through the selection of coating pigments and other formulation components.
