Frequently Asked Questions
How much TiO2 can Calcined Kaolin replace?
Depending on the formulation, our Calcined Kaolin can successfully replace 10% to 20% of Titanium Dioxide without losing opacity, significantly reducing costs.
Why use calcined kaolin instead of hydrous kaolin for cables?
Calcination removes all structural water, vastly improving the electrical volume resistivity, which is critical for cable insulation.
