ORGAWHITE 2000
Opaque Polymer
1/11

INTRODUCTION

Orgawhite 2000 is an ammonia, formaldehyde and APEO free organic opacifier that is designed to be
used in water based paints and other coatings. Orgawhite 2000 is a non-film-forming polymer
emulsion that forms hollow air filled particles when dried. When used in paint formulations as a partial
replacement of TiO2 and other extenders, Orgawhite 2000 acts like a fine particle inorganic extender
spacing the TiO2 particles. This improves the efficiency of TiO2.

Orgawhite 2000 has a very low surface area and the binder demand is very low. This allows the paint
formulators to work at higher pigment volume concentrations.
Utilizing the benefits of the Orgawhite 2000 the paint formulation cost could be reduced without
reducing the performance. Alternatively the paint performance could be improved without increasing the
cost.

PRODUCT HANDLING STORAGE SHELFLIFE

To ensure safe storage of this emulsion, containers should be well sealed to prevent the water
evaporation and skin forming. The emulsion must be stored between 5-25C for a maximum of 12
months and freezing must be avoided, it is strongly advised to keep the emulsion under slow and/or
intermittent agitation. Orgawhite 2000 should not be contacted with any glycols or glycol derivatives,
aromatic solvents during storage.
