Annual Capacity: Approx. 15,000 tons
❗ Problems Faced
As raw material prices continued to rise, A paint company in Vietnam sought to reduce production costs through formula optimization. However, trials with locally sourced talc powder caused several issues:
Coating separation and poor storage stability
Lower hiding power, requiring multiple coats
Unstable viscosity leading to inconsistent batch quality
Xufeng recommended BHS-718, a high-purity talc powder offering:
D90 ~10μm, fine and uniform particle size for excellent filling
Whiteness ≥94%, enhancing coating brightness
Surface-treated to improve compatibility and dispersion in water-based systems
We also advised a partial formula replacement—15% of TiO₂ and ground calcium carbonate were substituted with XF-Talc800.
The client reported the following improvements:
✅ Raw material costs reduced by ~12%
✅ Hiding power increased by 8%
✅ Storage stability improved by 60%, ensuring longer shelf life and less waste
✅ Grinding efficiency increased by 20%, boosting production speed and lowering costs
“We had been searching for a more cost-effective and stable filler. Xufeng’s talc powder not only cut our material costs but also significantly enhanced coating performance. Especially in terms of coverage and storage stability, the results exceeded our expectations. It’s been a truly successful technical collaboration.”
