Opacity

SOCAL® improves the opacity of papers by increasing the light scattering coefficient of the filled paper.

The high level of opacity allows to reduce the amount of titanium dioxide or to have a high level of opacity at a limited content of SOCAL®. This is especially interesting in light papers and top quality printing/writing papers where high optical performances are requested.

As a coating pigment, SOCAL® increases the coverage of the base paper. It also allows to reduce the coating weight to keep the same opacity , which reduces costs (mailing cost for instance).
