Steashield™ 10 by Imerys is an ultra-lamellar talc. It offers minimized settling, corrosion- and salt-spray- resistance. It is easy to formulate and provides exceptional barrier properties to stain-blocking paints and corrosion resistant coatings including coil and epoxy coatings. The particle shape of SteaShield™ 10 creates physical barrier which protects the paint substrate by impairing diffusion of water and corrosive agents through the film. It imparts significantly limiting stain migration and enhances anti-cracking-, adhesion- and UV protection in high-value paints. This cost-effective solution is suitable for both solvent- and water-based systems.
