Industrial Minerals for Paint & Coatings Industry - Supplier and Exporter from India
Shri Balaji Mines and Minerals supplies a comprehensive range of industrial minerals to paint and coatings manufacturers worldwide. Our minerals serve as functional fillers, extender pigments and performance additives across decorative paints, industrial coatings, automotive coatings, marine coatings and powder coatings. Sourced from mineral-rich regions of India, all products are supplied in powder form and exported on FOB and CIF basis with complete quality documentation. These minerals are widely used as raw materials in paint and coatings manufacturing processes across global markets.
Minerals We Supply to the Paint & Coatings Industry
Kaolin
Kaolin is one of the most widely used functional fillers in paint and coatings manufacturing. It improves opacity, coverage, scrub resistance and sheen reduction. Calcined kaolin is the preferred grade - its higher brightness, improved opacity and lower oil absorption make it an effective partial replacement for titanium dioxide in interior and exterior paints, industrial coatings and primers. Hydrous kaolin suits water-based paints where smooth texture, chemical stability and cost-effective performance are required.
Supplied in powder form across multiple grades and mesh sizes. Calcined and hydrous grades both available. Lumps and noodle available for manufacturers with in-house processing capability.

Talc
Talc is a key functional mineral in paint formulations, uniquely valued for its lamellar platelet structure — flat platelets that align during film formation, creating barrier properties no other filler replicates.
In paint and coatings, talc improves anti-settling and anti-sagging properties, enhances scratch and abrasion resistance, provides matting effect in low-sheen paints, improves barrier properties in industrial coatings and reduces cracking in exterior wall paints.
Used across decorative paints, automotive primers and anti-corrosion coatings. Supplied in powder form across multiple grades and mesh sizes including micronized grades for premium paint applications.

Calcite
Calcite - ground calcium carbonate (GCC) - is one of the most widely used extender pigments in paint manufacturing, valued for high brightness, excellent binder compatibility and outstanding cost efficiency as a titanium dioxide extender.
In paint formulations, calcite improves brightness in interior emulsion paints, enhances film formation and surface smoothness, acts as a filler in primers, undercoats and textured coatings, and improves opacity and coverage in decorative paints.
Supplied in powder form across 100 to 500 mesh in multiple purity and whiteness grades. Micronized grades of 10 and 20 micron also available for premium decorative and industrial coating formulations.

Barite
Barite - barytes - is used as a functional filler in heavy-duty industrial coatings, marine paints, anti-corrosion coatings and automotive coatings where high density, chemical inertness and acid resistance are essential. Barite provides chemical and acid resistance in marine and industrial coatings, improves hardness and abrasion resistance in floor coatings, acts as a high-density filler in automotive primers and underbody coatings, and enhances anti-corrosion performance in protective systems. Its non-reactive nature ensures compatibility with all standard binder systems.
Supplied in powder and micronized grades suited to industrial, marine and automotive coating applications.

Quartz
Quartz powder is used as a functional filler in textured wall coatings, floor paints, road marking paints and heavy-duty industrial coatings where hardness, abrasion resistance and surface texture are critical.
Fine grades improve durability and wear resistance of coatings on concrete floors and industrial surfaces. Coarser grades are used in exterior textured decorative coatings where specific surface roughness is required. Its high SiO₂ content and chemical inertness ensure compatibility with standard paint systems.
Supplied in powder form across 100, 200, 325 and 500 mesh in multiple purity grades suited to paint and coating applications.

Dolomite
Dolomite is a cost-effective extender pigment in decorative and industrial paint formulations, offering good brightness, whiteness and chemical compatibility with standard binder systems. Its combined calcium and magnesium carbonate chemistry provides film hardness and weather resistance alongside calcite and kaolin in interior emulsion paints, exterior paints and industrial primers. Dolomite complements calcite in formulations where alkaline buffering and brightness are both required.
Supplied in powder form across multiple grades and mesh sizes from 100 to 500 mesh. Micronized grades of 10 and 20 micron available for premium coating applications.

Bentonite
Bentonite is used in paint and coatings as a rheology modifier and thickening agent - controlling viscosity, preventing pigment and filler settling during storage, and improving application consistency on vertical surfaces.
Its thixotropic behaviour - high viscosity at rest, low viscosity during application - makes it effective in water-based paints, industrial coatings and specialty coatings where anti-sag and anti-settle performance are critical. Its natural compatibility with aqueous systems makes it the preferred rheology modifier in water-based coating formulations.
Supplied in powder form. Specific grade requirements for paint rheology applications discussed based on formulation needs.
