How to improve sustainability in cool roof coatings and insulating paints with Omya's lightweight fillers

Lightweight fillers are used extensively in applications such as joint compounds, insulating paints, elastomeric roof and high reflective coatings, polyester putties, adhesives and sealants, mastics, underbody coatings, and many cementitious applications such as tile adhesives, renders, grouts, insulating mortar, and structural concrete. The lightweight fillers provide benefits including reduced weight of final products, increased yield / coverage, enhanced rheological properties such as sag resistance or standability, and improved insulating properties such as emittance, reflectivity, and thermal conductivity. All these benefits lead to clear and tangible savings while improving the application of the final product. 

Omyasphere 200 series, lightweight fillers based on closed-cell expanded perlite, are suitable for hand, roller, or brush applications and can even be used in low-pressure spraying operations There is a large portfolio of grades with a top cut ranging from 120 to 350 microns, and grades coated for reducing hydrophobicity and improving stability over time in ready-to-use systems. They will lead clear and tangible savings in final system reducing weight, increasing the yield, and enhancing thermal insulation properties.
