Abstract:
The present invention refers to a process for the preparation of an aqueous solution comprising at least one earth alkali hydrogen carbonate and its uses. The process may be carried out in a reactor system comprising a tank (1) equipped with a stirrer (2), at least one filtering device (4) and a grinding device (18).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for manufacturing aqueous mineral material suspensions or dried mineral materials using at least one lithium ion neutralised water-soluble organic polymer, the ground mineral materials obtained by this process, the use of the mineral materials in paper, paints and plastics, as well as the use of the lithium ion neutralised water-soluble organic polymer in the manufacturing process as a dispersing and/or grinding enhancer.

Abstract:
A process for the preparation of a mineral filler product is disclosed, the process comprising a step of wet grinding a calcium carbonate-containing material in a mixture obtained by contacting the calcium carbonate-containing material with at least one grinding agent selected from specific styrene-maleic anhydride co-polymers and/or specific derivatives of styrene-maleic anhydride co-polymers.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns the technical sector of mineral pigments containing a product formed in situ by the double and/or multiple reaction between a calcium carbonate and the reaction product or products of the said carbonate with one or more moderately strong to strong H3O+ion donors and the reaction product or products of the said carbonate with gaseous CO2 formed in situ and/or coming from an external supply, and at least one aluminium silicate and/or at least one synthetic silica and/or at least one calcium silicate and/or at least one silicate of a monovalent salt such as sodium silicate and/or potassium silicate and/or lithium silicate, and/or at least one aluminium hydroxide and/or at least one sodium and/or potassium aluminate, containing less than 0.1% by weight silicate of a monovalent salt such as sodium, potassium or lithium silicate or mixtures thereof, relative to the dry weight of calcium carbonate, having a pH greater than 7.5 measured at 20° C., and their uses in papermaking applications such as mass filling and/or the coating of paper and more particularly of printing paper, in particular for offset printing, or digital printing such as inkjet and/or laser printing.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a polymer composition comprising at least one polymeric resin and from 0.1 to 95 wt.-% of at least one surface reactive white mineral material, a process for preparing a surface reactive white mineral material, a surface reactive white mineral material obtainable by the process, a fibre and/or filament and/or film and/or thread and/or breathable film comprising the polymer composition and/or the surface reactive white mineral material, an article comprising the polymer composition and/or the surface reactive white mineral material and/or the fibre and/or filament and/or film and/or thread and/or breathable film as well as the use of a phosphoric acid ester blend for decreasing the hydrophilicity and/or moisture pick up susceptibility of the surface reactive white mineral material-containing particle surface.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns a print medium and a method of producing such a print medium. In particular, the present invention is directed to a print medium comprising a substrate having a first and a reverse side, and at least one coating layer on of the substrate sides.
Abstract:
The present invention consists of a process of preparation of at least one mineral matter and/or of at least one pigment, including a calcium carbonate made at once partially organophilic and partially hydrophilic, in which the carbonate is blended and/or ground and/or concentrated in an aqueous medium, in the presence of at least one salt of ethylene acrylic acid, one dispersing agent and/or one grinding aid agent, which is introduced before and/or during this treatment stage.Another object of the invention lies in the aqueous dispersions and suspensions of calcium carbonate thus obtained. They may be dried and the dry pigments obtained also constitute an object of the invention.Use of these aqueous dispersions and these dry pigments in the field of plastic, paints and paper constitutes another object of the invention.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for preparing a surface treated mineral filler product, and to its preferred use in the field of plastic applications, and in particular polypropylene (PP)- or polyethylene (PE)-based breathable or extrusion coating film applications.
