GBASEA Barium Sulfate Extinction 20HB for Coatings with Excellent Hiding Power
Product Overview
GBASEA Barium Sulfate Extinction 20HB is a premium-grade, micronized barium sulfate extender engineered to deliver exceptional opacity, chemical resistance, and rheological control in industrial and decorative coatings. With a controlled particle size distribution (D50: 0.7–1.2 µm) and ultra-low oil absorption (14–18 g/100g), this high-purity (≥98.5%) extender enhances hiding power by up to 30% compared to conventional calcium carbonate or talc, enabling formulators to reduce TiO2 loading while maintaining film integrity and gloss uniformity.
Specifically designed for waterborne, solvent-borne, and powder coating systems, Extinction 20HB acts as a multifunctional additive:
- TiO2 Extender: Improves pigment spacing efficiency, maximizing TiO2 utilization.
- Corrosion Inhibitor: Chemically inert barrier against acids, alkalis, and salt spray (ASTM B117).
- Matting Agent: Delivers consistent semi-gloss to matte finishes (60° gloss: 5–25 GU).
- Density Modifier: Balances sag resistance and sprayability in high-build coatings.
Certified under REACH, RoHS, and ISO 9001, this barium sulfate is a sustainable alternative to critical raw materials, aligning with VOC reduction goals and circular economy principles.
Key Features & Competitive Advantages
Unmatched Hiding Power & Opacity
- TiO2 Optimization: Reduces titanium dioxide usage by 15–25% while maintaining equivalent contrast ratio (ISO 6504-1: ≥95%).
- Pigment Spacing: Monodisperse particles prevent TiO2 agglomeration, enhancing light scattering efficiency.
- Refractive Index (1.64): Bridges the gap between binders (1.5) and TiO2 (2.7) for optimal light diffusion.
Superior Processing & Film Properties
- Low Oil Absorption (14–18 g/100g): Minimizes resin demand, lowering formulation costs.
- Thixotropy Control: Pseudoplastic rheology for anti-settling stability and brush/roll application ease.
- Film Reinforcement: 20% improvement in pencil hardness (H–2H) and scrub resistance (ASTM D2486).
Extreme Environmental Resistance
- pH Stability (2–12): Withstands acidic rain, alkaline cleaners, and marine environments.
- UV Inertness: Zero chalking or yellowing after 1,000+ hours QUV-B exposure (ASTM G154).
- Thermal Stability: No decomposition below 1,580°C, ideal for powder coatings and automotive exhaust systems.
Sustainability & Compliance
- Heavy Metal-Free: Complies with EU Toy Safety Directive EN71-3 and FDA 21 CFR for food-contact coatings.
- Low Carbon Footprint: Production powered by 70% renewable energy with closed-loop water recycling.
- Dust-Free Granules: Safe handling with ≤0.1% respirable particles (OSHA PEL standards).
