EverWhite® EWP-5 by U.S. Silica is a premium, domestically sourced high-white pigment extender. It is a highly refined silica-based mineral that is used to partially replace other inorganic white pigments like titanium dioxide and aluminum trihydrate (ATH).

• It offers consistent color formulations and premium bright-white color.
• It is high temperature resistant and specially formulated to reduce discoloration, provides hardness and durability equal to other specialty minerals like white quartz & TiO₂ based pigments.
• It disperses more easily and its flexibility in opacity helps with the depth effect of products.
• It has roughly half the density which allows the manufacturer more options in substitution.
• EverWhite® EWP-5 is used in industrial, liquid roof applied coating white paper applications and exterior building products.

TIPAQUE BLACK™ SG-101 by Ishihara Sangyo Kaisha is an environment-friendly, IR-reflective black pigment. It is a chromium-free, neutral black pigment composed of calcium titanium manganese oxide (Ca, Ti, Mn)O₃. It offers reduced warpage & deformation due to its temperature rise suppression properties and maintains true black appearance. It offers potential recyclability benefits through NIR detectability.

• It enables deep black coatings with reduced heat build-up, while maintaining design flexibility and supporting cool roof and energy regulations without compromising color.
• It is designed for heat-shielding applications.
• TIPAQUE BLACK™ SG-101 offers excellent reflectance in the near-infrared region (780-2500 nm).
• It reduces NIR absorption across a wide range of dark shades, not just pure black.
• It is used in architectural/decorative coatings, automotive OEM coatings, general industrial maintenance and metal coatings.
• It is listed with ENCS and TSCA.

Regional availability and approved end-uses may vary; Ishihara will confirm fit with your inquiry.
