Abstract

Flat latex coatings, using “SPACERITE” ALUMINUM TRIHYDROXIDE (ATH) as the primary functional extender pigment, were compared with similar formulations using clay as the extender pigment and Celite as a flatting agent. `SPACERITE' ATH S-23 can be used successfully as an extender pigment for titanium dioxide in flat latex paints. In fact, the coatings using `SPACERITE' ATH clearly showed an improvement in the degree of whiteness as well as an increase in scrub resistance without affecting the viscosity, 60 degree gloss, or 85 degree sheen.
