Mattex PRO is a patent pending, engineered, high performance kaolin product designed for use in flat architectural coatings. BASF Corporation is the world’s largest calcined kaolin producer for the architectural coatings industry. Its very low sheen and gloss make it ideal for paints that require excellent touch-up properties without the use of flatting agents. Flatting agents have either high levels of crystalline silica or tend to have very high oil absorption which has adverse effects on film porosity, stain resistance and scrub resistance. Mattex®PRO simplifies paint formulation by eliminating other extenders and simplifying the inventory management of multiple raw materials.

Benefits of using Mattex®PRO:
»Provides up to 30 % higher scrubs over conventional kaolin-based products
»Maintains excellent hide and tint strength
»Simplifies paint formulating by eliminating the use of flatting agents
»Improves burnish resistance
»Enhances touch-up of flat paints
