 Summary
Compared to a combination of Na/Al-Silicate and Alumosilicate
INTRODUCTION Silfit Z 91 leads to:

EXPERIMENTAL
• Almost equal processing properties, storage stability,
color and wet-scrub resistance
RESULTS
• Slightly higher gloss level; matting with adaptive dosage of
SUMMARY natural cellulosic fibers such as “Arbocel B 600” if needed

Silfit Z 91 additionally offers:

• Marked improvement of hiding power and spreading rates
whilst at the same time lowering formulation cost
• Despite 10 - 20 % white pigment reduction even better efficiency
with additional cost-saving effect

Silfit Z 91 gains the following benefits when used as TiO2 extender:

 Improved performance, regardless of further TiO2 reduction
 Real high cost-cutting potential for even more cost-effective
interior emulsion paints
