Barium Sulphate
CAS: 7727-43-7 | HS: 28332700
BaSO₄ | 233.39 g/mol
Precipitated Barium Sulphate is the premium extender pigment in high-end decorative, automotive, and powder coatings — improving hiding power, gloss uniformity, and film hardness without affecting drying time.
Zinc Oxide
CAS: 1314-13-2 | HS: 28170010
ZnO | 81.39 g/mol
In anti-corrosive primers and marine coatings, Zinc Oxide functions as a corrosion-inhibiting pigment and UV absorber — essential in exterior architectural and industrial maintenance coatings.
Zinc Stearate
CAS: 557-05-1 | HS: 29157090
C₃₆H₇₀O₄Zn | 632.33 g/mol
Zinc Stearate serves as a flatting agent and anti-settling additive, reducing specular gloss to desired sheen levels (eggshell, satin, matt) without affecting colour development.
Aluminium Stearate
CAS: 637-12-7 | HS: 29159090
C₅₄H₁₀₅AlO₆ | 877.40 g/mol
Aluminium Stearate is used as an anti-sagging agent and thixotropic additive in high-build industrial coatings applied to vertical metal surfaces.
Barium Stearate
CAS: 6865-35-6 | HS: 29159009
C₃₆H₇₀BaO₄ | 704.28 g/mol
Barium Stearate is used in inks as a slip agent, improving rub resistance and scuff resistance in packaging and publication inks.
