Mistron® 403

Chemical Name
Talc
Chemical Family
Silicates

Mistron® 403 is a high-purity, platy, microcrystalline talc. In architectural and industrial primers, it provides barrier properties to improve corrosion resistance and stain-blocking ability. Mistron® 403 also prevents tannin bleed and improves gloss uniformity in solid-color and semi-transparent stains. In sealant formulations, Mistron® 403 enhances film strength and flexibility.
