Chemical Family: Kaolins

SNOBRITE® 60 is a white extender pigment that is produced from air-floated intermediate kaolins. With a plate-like crystal structure and high aspect ratio, SNOBRITE® provides good reinforcing properties, increased hardness and stiffness, and improved resistance to abrasion and tear. Its tendency to slowly build viscosity makes SNOBRITE® a cost-effective formulating tool to enhance performance without adversely affecting production rates. Its additions also improve critical working properties, including extrusion, calendaring, mold release, and handling.
