NOVACOAT consists primarily of calcined kaolin, a clay that undergoes a heating process that alters its structure and properties. This results in a fine, white powder that provides excellent dispersion and chemical inertness in formulations. Ideal for use in paints, coatings, and various other applications, it offers a balance of performance characteristics that satisfy technical buyers’ criteria. When ordering, buyers should specify the desired pack size — available in 25 kg bags — and ensure compatibility with intended applications.
