ORGAL ORGAWHITE 2000
OPAQUE POLYMER
Orgal Orgawhite 2000 Opaque Polymer is a non-film-forming, low-odor synthetic pigment engineered to improve the economics of waterborne coatings.
Orgal Orgawhite 2000 Opaque Polymer shows increased light scattering efficiency compared to previous Opaque Polymer products while maintaining paint performance.
Orgal Orgawhite 2000 Opaque Polymer`s addition to paints allows the formulator to remove TiO2 in paint while maintaining the same level of dry hiding in the coating.
Orgal Orgawhite 2000 is an ammonia, formaldehyde, and APEO-free OPAQUE POLYMER designed for water-based paints and other coatings.
OPAQUE POLYMER is an organic opacifier for water-based paints and coatings, mainly white and pastel formulations.
ORGAL ORGAWHITE 2000 is an OPAQUE POLYMER
Orgal Orgawhite 2000 is a non-film-forming.
Orgal Orgawhite 2000 is a polymer emulsion that forms hollow air-filled particles when dried.
When used in paint formulations to partially replace TiO2 and other extenders, Orgal Orgawhite 2000 acts like a fine-particle inorganic extender, spacing the TiO2 particles.
This improves the efficiency of TiO2.
Orgal Orgawhite 2000 has a very low surface area, and the binder demand is very low.
This allows the paint formulators to work at higher pigment volume concentrations.
Utilizing the benefits of the Orgal Orgawhite 2000, the paint formulation cost could be reduced without reducing the performance.
Alternatively, the paint performance could be improved without increasing the
cost.

Description
Opaque Polymer expands the boundaries of light scattering technology, providing the most efficient dry hiding in interior and exterior coatings.
Additionally, this non-film-forming synthetic pigment is specially engineered to improve the economics of waterborne coatings while maintaining coating performance.
Like its predecessors, Opaque Polymer is a hollow-sphere polymeric pigment that allows paint manufacturers to reduce the raw material cost of their formulations with no performance penalties.
In addition to providing the most efficient dry-hiding properties, Opaque Polymer offers various benefits in interior and exterior paint formulations.
Advantages
Significantly increased light scattering efficiency while maintaining paint performance.
More significant cost savings while providing equal hiding
Opaque Polymer in Conventional Paints
Adding Opaque Polymer Orgal Orgawhite 2000 to conventional paints allows the paint manufacturer to reduce the initial level of TiO2 and provide significant cost savings with equal properties.
Because Opaque Polymer Orgal Orgawhite 2000 has a comparatively low binder demand, the total PVC can be slightly increased without sacrificing paint performance.
The extender levels may need to be rebalanced to adjust gloss by adjusting the ratio of large and small particle size extenders, and the water level and thickener may need to be adjusted to keep volume solids and viscosity constant.
Interior Applications of Orgal Orgawhite 2000
The lower levels of TiO2 and extender in paints containing Opaque Polymer provide fewer loose particles to rub the paint film.
The hydrophobicity of Opaque Polymer may also help make the paint film less water-sensitive.
The overall effect improves washability.
Interactions with Other Paint Ingredients
The hiding properties of Opaque Polymer depend on the integrity of the hollow sphere in the paint film.
All Opaque Polymers can be affected by certain solvents, plasticizers, and surfactants, especially those with a significant aromatic content.
These materials can soften the polymer shell and cause the spheres to collapse during
film formation.
PRODUCT HANDLING – STORAGE – SHELFLIFE
Containers should be well sealed to prevent water evaporation and skin formation and ensure safe storage of this emulsion.
The emulsion must be stored between 5-25°C for 12 months, and freezing must be avoided.
Keeping the emulsion under slow and/or intermittent agitation is strongly advised.
Orgal Orgawhite 2000 should not be in contact with any glycols glycol derivatives or aromatic solvents during storage.
