Lamellar particles are coated with an amorphous metal oxide hydrogel and then converted to a hydrophobic metal hydroxide-organic composite polymeric film. The obtained product can be combined with a film forming polymer powder to produce a film forming composition which can be applied by an electrostatic coating method. The resulting products also have significantly improved performance in plastic masterbatches, hydrophobic cosmetic formulations, liquid paints and many other applications where hydrophobic pigments are beneficial. |
