EICL has normal, fine and ultrafine grade Hydrous Clays for use in paint, where the main application is in architectural water based paint. Regular grade hydrous clay are used in as functional filler in High PVC water base paint. The Fine Particle size distribution, surface charge and the platy structure of Hydrous Clay enhances the functional property of paint film like gloss and opacity. It also improves the anti settling and rheological properties of paint.

The Ultrafine grade Hydrous clay with narrow Particle size distribution, close to that of Titanium dioxide, enhances the effective spacing of Titanium dioxide particles and helps partial replacement in High sheen water based paints and solvent base glossy enamel paints.

EICL has normal, fine and ultra fine grade Calcined Clays for use as opacifying extender in water based paints.

The high brightness, Micro porous structure with controlled particle size distribution of Calcined clay enhances the light scattering property which imparts higher opacity and brightness of paint film.

This improved opacifying property of Calcined Clay enables partial replacement of Titanium dioxide in paint formulation.

The normal and fine grade Calcined Clay are used in High PVC water based paints and ultra fine grades are used in medium PVC water based emulsion paints.
