MINEX® S-4

MINEX® S-4 by Sibelco Specialty Minerals is a micronized functional filler and extender for coatings. It is produced from nepheline syenite which is a naturally occurring, silica deficient, sodium-potassium alumina silicate. It offers cost effective gloss, sheen control, adds texture, excellent brightness, low tint strength and color development. It protects the resin system from direct sunlight UV exposure, and steel and concrete from corrosion. It provides superior resistance to scratch, fading, chalking, cracking and loss of gloss. It also shows moisture-, chemical (acids & bases), abrasion- and corrosion resistance. It imparts optimum clarity, flattening and ease of dispersion. MINEX® S-4 possesses transparency, anti-settling and unique combination of optical and physical properties. It improves durability, film hardness, light and binder stability. Due to low oil absorption, it permits high loading. It provides low viscosity needed to meet high solids and low-VOC requirements.
