Omyacarb™ Extra - KA by Omya is an ultrafine ground calcium carbonate designed for matt decorative paints with high pigment volume concentration (PVC). It allows an optimization of titanium dioxide content based on the opacifying effect provided by its ultrafine particles.

• In formulations exceeding the critical pigment volume concentration, titanium dioxide can be significantly reduced without compromising dry opacity.
• Even with reduced pigment levels, brightness may increase slightly while yellowness is minimized.
• It also enables formulators to reduce binder content through improved filler packing within the system, leading to additional cost savings without compromising mechanical properties like wet scrub resistance.
• It provides high opacity, gloss and brightness, easy dispersibility, pigment and cost savings, improved carbon footprint, and titanium dioxide substitution through dry hiding effect.
• Omyacarb™ Extra - KA has extraordinary dispersibility in both water and solvent based systems.
• It is used in solvent-based alkyd coatings offering potential pigment and cost savings.
• The pigment savings lead to a significantly lower carbon footprint of the coating formulation, contributing to environmental protection.

Secoia® 1501 by Ecoat is a low yellowing, very low VOC/SVOC, cost competitive, bio-sourced (biopreferred) alkyd emulsion. It acts as a binder for waterborne indoor wall paints and architectural coatings. It can be blended with std water-based binders to improve application properties such as open time and leveling.

• It provides good wet scrub resistance, opacity, hardness, good interaction with thickeners and good adhesion on aged alkyd paints.
• It easily lowers the carbon footprint of coatings by advantageously replacing traditional alkyd binders and substituting petro-based styrene-acrylics, while holding coatings performance and formulation.
• Secoia® 1501 is USDA Certified and complies with EU Ecolabel, A+ indoor air emissions rating and OK biobased certification.
