Extender

Extender additives improve the performance, coverage, and durability of paints, coatings, and finishes by reducing pigment load while maintaining opacity. These high-performance additives increase film build, adhesion, and weather resistance, making them essential for architectural, industrial, and specialty coatings. Extender pigments such as calcium carbonate, silica, and clay enhance durability, improve abrasion resistance, and reduce gloss while maintaining smooth application and workability. In wood coatings and stains, extenders help control penetration and drying time, ensuring even absorption and a uniform finish. They are widely used in low-VOC and eco-friendly coatings to improve stability and cost efficiency without compromising quality. Whether for interior and exterior paints, primers, or industrial coatings, extender additives optimize performance, enhance durability, and reduce costs, ensuring long-lasting, high-quality finishes across a variety of surfaces and applications.
