Extender pigments are typically known for:

Extender pigments are primarily used in paint formulations for their ability to enhance properties while also being cost-effective. These pigments help improve the paint's texture, durability, and application characteristics, often allowing for better spreadability and coverage without significantly impacting the overall color quality. The low cost of extender pigments makes them a practical choice for manufacturers aiming to create a more economical product without sacrificing performance. In contrast to extender pigments, other types of pigments are more focused on providing opacity, brightness, or specialized functions like corrosion resistance, but those functionalities do not align with the primary roles of extender pigments.
