interior wall paint
DORKAFILL® H – the multi-talented filler
DORKAFILL® H is a calcined kaolin which is in a class of its own. We extract the multi-functional filler from our own deposits and put it through a sophisticated refining process. It is often used by leading manufacturers in their dispersion paint formulations, and for good reason. DORKAFILL® H gives dispersion paint a performance boost which can be exploited in different ways:
- To reduce system costs, without making compromises in the performance of dispersion paint
- To upgrade existing formulations to make higher-grade paint with better performance and higher margins without adding cost to the formulation.
Two ways to increase your earnings
Multi-functional DORKAFILL® class fillers give dispersion paint a performance boost which you can use to upgrade and/or reduce the system costs of your formulations.
Use of mono-functional fillers
On many optimization projects where Dorfner Paint applications engineering was involved, multi-functional DORKAFILL® class fillers simplified the formulations and reduced the number of different raw materials. DORKAFILL® H on its own or together with DORKAFILL® PRO_VOID used in existing filler packages can completely replace all of the conventional mono-functional fillers or combinations of those fillers, e.g. talcum, diatomite, mica, aluminum silicate or precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC).

DORKAFILL® brand-name products
The combination of high-grade kaolin and Dorfner’s refining expertise is the secret behind the outstanding features of DORKAFILL® additives for dispersion paint. Well-balanced surface properties and defined surface chemistry combined with sophisticated particle technology are the factors which give DORKAFILL® products their unique properties and great versatility. To convert our natural kaolin into a filler for dispersion paints, we put it through a complex treatment and refining process. The result is highly-refined brand-name calcined kaolins A: DORKAFILL® H, B: DORKAFILL® PRO_VOID and C: DORKAFILL® X_PAND which offer outstanding performance as multi-functional fillers in today’s architectural paint.
DORKAFILL® PRO_VOID
This highly refined kaolin is used as a functional filler for dispersion paint. It offers an excellent balance in both hiding power and rheology and provides superior matting and scrubbability performance. DORKAFILL® PRO_VOID creates opportunities to enhance the performance of existing dispersion paint formulations and reduce system costs. DORKAFILL® PRO_VOID is ideal for professional and do-it-yourself dispersion paint. It is suitable for nearly any binder and can be combined with all commonly used tinting systems.
You benefit in 2 ways
Multi-functional DORKAFILL® class fillers give dispersion paint a performance boost that you can utilize in two ways. DORKAFILL® PRO_VOID can be included as part of the formulation in all standard interior wall paints without problem. This Dorfner brand-name filler really shows its strengths when you want an extra matte or dull matte finish on your walls. DORKAFILL® PRO_VOID is also the ideal choice for dispersion paint if the wall coatings need to be highly resistant to mechanical stress. You will notice a significant improvement in scrubbability.
