Approche de solution
RawSource supplies the base chemicals that go into these programs. We can help with product selection, grade matching, and sourcing from multiple origins for supply security.
Typical Formulation Workflow
1
System & Substrate Assessment
Define the binder system (waterborne, solventborne, UV, powder), substrate, cure, and the VOC, durability, and appearance targets.
2
Additive & Resin Selection
Match resins, pigments and fillers, dispersants, rheology modifiers, defoamers, or biocides to the formulation and compatibility window.
3
Lab Let-Down & Optimization
Dial in loading and addition order through lab let-downs, checking dispersion, rheology, film properties, and storage stability.
4
Application & Performance Testing
Validate on the real application method and substrate, tracking gloss, adhesion, sag, cure, and weathering before scale-up.

Titanium Dioxide
CAS 13463-67-7
Charges Minérales et Pigments
Primary white pigment for opacity
High-refractive-index prime pigment providing the hiding power that extenders are spaced around to optimize cost

Mica
CAS 12001-26-2
Charges Minérales et Pigments
Épaississement / Rhéologie
Genuine low-cost lamellar extender pigment used precisely for filler-loading cost optimization: spaces/extends TiO2, reinforces film, reduces cracking and moisture permeability, and controls sheen at a fraction of TiO2/binder cost. Directly serves this exact use-case.
Point de fusion:1500 °C Densité:2.6 to 3.2 Solubility: Insoluble
