OPALIA® is produced from carefully selected, naturally occurring off-white baryte. The standardised quality of OPALIA® is guaranteed by means of an ISO 9001 certified quality management plan. The chemical composition of raw material and product is closely monitored and particle size kept within a narrow variation.

OPALIA® micronized functional fillers are used in a broad range of applications. The most important characteristics are:

• excellent chemical inertness (outdoor and chemical applications)

• low binder absorption

• good dispersibility

OPALIA® is successfully used in applications where excellent chemical inertness is required but high brightness and consistent colour is less important e.g. primers, sealants and adhesives. The exceptionally high density of baryte makes OPALIA® an economical filler of choice for sound deadening in automotive and domestic applications (e.g. sewer pipes).
