Paint and Mineral Filler Applications

ALTIFIL when finely ground can be substituted for Talc in a number of applications including:

• Rubber
• Plastics
• Paints
• Cosmetics and
• Jointing Compounds.

Product development is ongoing for many of these sectors. We have highlighted our success to date with research in the filler markets for Paint.

Paint Formula Replacements

TRE has been working with various paint manufacturers over the past year on formula replacements using ALTIFIL products. The results were amazing and clearly showed that not only is ALTIFIL an excellent replacement for PYRAX but ALTIFIL can also effectively replace other products such as:

• NYTAL -
• PULPRO
• MINEX and
• DIAFIL

Not only does ALTIFIL replace these raw materials -
