This synthetic pigment from OMNOVA delivers excellent gloss while improving smoothness, opacity and brightness in coated free sheet, lightweight coated, technical paper and paperboard applications.  The optimized particle size and void volume, coupled with a narrow particle size distribution, enable Lytron HG80 pigment to perform well in even the most demanding coated paper formulations. 

Lytron HG80 complies with FDA status 21 CFR 176.170 (components of paper and paperboard in contact with aqueous and fatty food), 21 CFR 176.180 (components of paper and paperboard in contact with dry food) and 21 CFR 175.105 (substances for use only as components of adhesives).
