• Primers
• Gloss and Matt paints

We also offer tailor made solutions for customer requirements

Calcium Carbonate

Recommended Product Range:

CALCARB^TM Range

Very fine ground calcium carbonate produced utilizing advance grinding technology and classification to attain exact top cut and better particle size distribution. Calcarb^TM range in formulations:

• Improves opacity
• Maintain whiteness
• Control gloss

W CARB^TM Range  

Ultra-fine calcium carbonate (D₅₀ below 1 micron), produced utilizing state of the art technology to achieve steady narrow particle size distribution. WCARB^TM range in formulations:

• Provides partial extension for TiO₂ and reduce formulation costs
• Improves dry hiding and Opacity
• Provides excellent dispersibility

DISPER^TM Range

Slurry of high solid ground calcium carbonate with steady narrow particle size distribution. Including DISPER^TM in formulations:

• Enhance dry hiding
• Provides excellent dispersibility

Calcium Magnesium Carbonate

Recommended Product Range:

MACA^TM Range

Very fine ground calcium magnesium carbonate produced utilizing advance grinding technology and classification to attain exact top cut and better particle size distribution. MACA^TM range in formulations:

• Enhance Sheen
• Improve brightness
• Improves dry hiding and opacity
• Maintain whiteness

W MACA^TM Range 

Ultra-fine calcium magnesium carbonate (D₅₀ below 1 micron), produced utilizing state of the art technology to achieve steady narrow particle size distribution. WMACA^TM range in formulations:

• Provides partial extension for TiO₂ and reduce formulation costs
• Improves dry hiding and Opacity
• Excellent dispersibility
• Improves brightness

Kaolin

WC^TM Range

Kaolin (china clay) which is chemically known as aluminum silicate. It is significant for its naturally available fine particle size and lamellar particle shape. WC^TM range is an ultrafine powder of kaolin processed after a controlled drying process. Incorporating WC^TM range in formulations:

• Improves dry hiding and opacity
• Enhance matting
• Provides gloss control
• Improve rheology and paint adhesion

Talc

Talc is chemically known as hydrated magnesium silicate. It is the softest mineral on earth (Mohs hardness -1). Talc ground to fines maintaining the recommended aspect ratio provides:

• Barrier properties
• Weather resistance
• VOC and resin reduction

Mica

Mica is a platy mineral with a unique range of naturally available particle sizes. Aspect ratio of this mineral plays an important role in bringing forward its properties. LANMIC uses advance milling technology to give our customers the desired benefits:

• Barrier effect
• Crack resistance
• Vibration damping
• Prevents shrinking and shearing of paint film
• Brightened the tone of colored pigment
• Enhance fire protection

Quarts

Quarts consisting one-part silicon and two parts oxygen, is a hard-crystalline mineral.  LANMIC use ceramic lined, state of the art machinery to grind this hard material without contamination. The product quality and consistency are assured to our customers

• Provides aesthetic texture
• Good scrub resistance
