Overview
ROPAQUE™ Ultra is a hollow-sphere polymeric pigment that provides efficient dry hiding power in interior and exterior paints. It is a light-scattering pigment and is non-film-forming, ensuring that the existing performance of formulations is not impacted. ROPAQUE™ Ultra is neutralized via ammonia and can help reduce formulation costs by reducing the level of pigments such as TiO2 in paint formulations to achieve the same color effect. It is recommended for flat through high-gloss types of architectural paint formulations.
