01Applications

Applications

TiO2, calcium carbonate and talc combine to deliver hiding power, spreadability and cost-efficient coverage in wall paints.

Rheology modifiers and dispersants keep heavy anti-corrosive pigment loads stable, while solvents control film build on steel structures.

Iron oxide and TiO2 deliver precise, durable color match, while defoamers and dispersants ensure a defect-free, high-gloss finish.

Talc and calcium carbonate extenders adjust sheen and sandability, while solvents fine-tune drying speed and flow on wood substrates.

TiO2 and iron oxide provide color and opacity in solvent-free powder formulations, relying on rheology modifiers for even electrostatic application.

Talc's platy structure and rheology modifiers build a dense, moisture-resistant barrier film needed in harsh marine environments.

Material	Role	Estimated Share of Batch
Titanium Dioxide Primary white pigment	Serves as the primary white pigment, providing opacity, hiding power and brightness to the coating film.	15-25%
Calcium Carbonate Extender / filler	Acts as a cost-effective extender that builds volume, adjusts gloss level and improves brushability without adding much color strength.	10-30%
Talc Platy extender	A platy extender that improves paint flow, sag resistance and interlayer adhesion, and adds moisture-barrier properties.	5-15%
Iron Oxide Color pigment	Provides durable, UV-stable red, yellow, black or brown coloring across architectural and industrial coating systems.	1-8%
Dispersants (Paint & Coating Chemicals) Pigment wetting agent	Wets and stabilizes pigment particles during milling to prevent flocculation, settling and color inconsistency.	<1%
Defoamers (Paint & Coating Chemicals) Foam control	Eliminates and prevents air entrainment and surface foam during high-speed manufacturing and application.	<1%
Rheology Modifiers (Paint & Coating Chemicals) Viscosity control	Controls viscosity, sag resistance and anti-settling behavior of the paint both in the can and during application.	<1-2%
Solvents (Paint & Coating Chemicals) Carrier / diluent	Acts as the carrier medium that dissolves the resin, adjusts application viscosity and governs drying and film formation.	10-30%

Bars show a quick approximate share in a general formulation for this industry — actual ratios vary by product and production line.
