ASP 101 kaolin is a stearate-treated, fine particle size, hydrous aluminum silicate powder designed to provide hydrophobicity and ease of dispersion. It is used in applications requiring water resistance and low moisture absorption. ASP 101 finds use in polymeric systems where hydrophobicity, abrasion resistance are needed. Typical applications include industrial coatings where ASP 101 kaolin is used. It provides benefits such as water resistance, ease of dispersion and low moisture absorption properties important for coatings. ASP 101 kaolin also acts as an anti-blocking agent improving the performance.
