Artemyn acts as the distributor for Alphatex™ and Therma-Print™ calcined clay products. Please contact us for more information.
Calcined clay is generally used as a cost-effective opacifier and high light scattering pigment that provides excellent fibre coverage and bulk to the coating layer. It has been successfully used for several decades as a TiO2 extender.
Alphatex™ is a high brightness, calcined clay used for coating and filling applications in paper and board where high brightness and opacity are required.
It is made via a precisely controlled thermal process using a select kaolin feed. The resulting product has a controlled pore structure that maximizes light scattering.
Therma-Print™ is a calcined clay, designed to provide the right coating and surface structure for thermal transfer and thermally activated coated printing grades. Therma-Print™ improves coverage, absorbency and print properties.
The products are available in slurry or dry bulk form.
