TOBERMORITE - THE COMPLETE FILLER

Multi-functional fillers have long been integral recipe components of modern emulsion paints for interior and exterior applications. Calcium silicate hydrates (CSHs) in the modification of xonotlite having the chemical composition 6 CaO. 6 SiO O belong to this group and constitute an advantageous filler package in many formulations, generating optimum hiding power by partially replacing cost-intensive titanium dioxide [1, 2]. The present study focused on a comparative analysis of the influence of tobermorite and other selected fillers on mattability and wet-abrasion rub resistance in preservative-free, alkaline formulations of interior emulsion paints. It also investigated to what extent the ...
