HIFILL® Air Floated Clay Filler 15
- CAS Number
- 471-34-1
- Chemical Name
- Calcium Carbonate
HIFILL® Air Floated Clay Filler 15 is a calcium carbonate filler and reinforcer that is produced from a uniquely occurring, high-brightness calcite feedstock. HIFILL® grades have low oil absorption, which can help maximize loading levels in either water- or solvent-based systems with only a minimal impact on viscosity.

- HIGHLIGHTS
Available in a range of particle distributions and packing configurations HIFILL offers versatile filling options and excellent whiteness and opacity in adhesives, sealants and caulks, and cost effective performance in contractor grade trade paints and stuccos. With low oil absorption values, HIFILL can help maximize loading levels in either water or solvent based systems with only minimal impact upon viscosity. The brightness, oil absorption and hardness properties of HIFILL also produce reinforcing and performance benefits in filled PVC plastic and rubber applications.. All HIFILL grades are processed with rigid adherence to Covia QIPSM statistical and quality assurance programs. The result is chemical purity and consistently uniform particle size distributions for predictable results and reliable service.
