Paints & Coatings Industry: Pigments and Fillers
Enhancing paint performance with Moroccan minerals. Barite as a functional filler, zinc for corrosion resistance, and lead pigments.
More Than Just Color
Modern paints are complex chemical systems designed to protect and beautify. Industrial minerals from Morocco serve as functional fillers and active pigments that determine the longevity and finish of the coating.
Functional Minerals
Barite (Blanc Fixe)
- High Density: Adds weight and "body" to primers and undercoats.
- Chemical Inertness: Resistant to acids and alkalis, making it ideal for industrial marine coatings.
- Brightness: High-purity Moroccan barite improves the whiteness of topcoats.
Zinc Dust
- Anti-Corrosion: Zinc-rich primers provide cathodic protection to steel structures.
Lead Agents
- Drying: Lead naphthenates act as driers in oil-based paints (specialized industrial use).
