  • Paint

Produced from a mineral mined from our own deposits, the CLARCEL®  range undergoes a complex treatment in one of our six European plants (United Kingdom, Italy, France): drying, purification, grinding, calcination and selection, to provide a wealth of high-tech solutions as filter aid or functional additive.

 

The outstanding properties of diatomite make it a remarkable functional additive, over and above its role in filtration applications.

 

The narrow particle size ranges mean that very fine activated diatomite is available, with a high absorbant capacity, which is particularly suitable for paint formulations in aqueous or in solvent phase (Pliolite). In addition to its dispersant capacity, diatomite imparts an unrivalled mattifying effect to paint. Its excellent porosity makes it highly permeable to water vapour, and extends the life of outdoor paint.


Adding 5% CLARCEL to the formulation helps your paint breathe.

 

The composition and structure of diatomite make it a first-rate functional additive in paper manufacture - opacification of paper, antiblocking for furniture overlay composites - and for non-stick polyethylene film rolls.
