Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for the production of granules comprising surface-reacted calcium carbonate by a) providing surface-reacted calcium carbonate, b) saturating the surface-reacted calcium carbonate with one or more liquids; c) providing one or more binder; d) combining the liquid saturated surface-reacted calcium carbonate with the one or more binder under agitation in an agitation device; e) removing the liquid from the mixture of step d); as well as to the granules comprising surface-reacted calcium carbonate obtained by this method.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for preparing an aqueous suspension comprising a mineral pigment material and a depolymerized carboxymethylcellulose having a degree of carboxylation in the range from 0.2 to 2.2, a molecular weight in the range from 5000 to 40000 g/mol, and a polydispersity index in the range from 2 to 10.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to carriers for the controlled release of active agents, comprising surface reacted natural or synthetic calcium carbonate, one or more active agents, wherein said one or more active agent is associated with said surface-reacted calcium carbonate, and wherein said surface-reacted natural or synthetic calcium carbonate is a reaction product of natural or synthetic calcium carbonate with carbon dioxide and one or more acids, wherein the carbon dioxide is formed in situ by the acid treatment and/or is supplied from an external source. It further relates to the preparation of loaded carriers, as well as their use in different applications.
Abstract:
A process for manufacturing structured material by providing cellulose fibres and at least one filler and/or pigment, combining the cellulose fibres and the at least one filler and/or pigment, fibrillating the cellulose fibres in the presence of the at least one filler and/or pigment until a gel is formed, subsequently providing additional non-fibrillated fibres, and combining the gel with the additional non-fibrillated fibres.
Abstract:
An orally fast disintegrating dosage forms comprising functionalized natural or synthetic calcium carbonate, at least one active ingredient and at least one disintegrant, wherein said functionalized natural or synthetic calcium carbonate is a reaction product of natural or synthetic calcium carbonate with carbon dioxide and one or more acids, wherein the carbon dioxide is formed in situ by the acid treatment and/or is supplied from an external source, and wherein the tablet dissolves in less than 20 seconds when introduced into an aqueous environment.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an economic process for preparing surface-reacted calcium carbonate. The present invention further relates to a surface-reacted calcium carbonate having an increased specific BET surface area, and the use of a process for adjusting the specific BET surface area.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to surface-reacted calcium carbonate, wherein the surface-reacted calcium carbonate is a reaction product of natural or synthetic calcium carbonate with carbon dioxide and at least one acid. Said calcium carbonate 5 and oral compositions containing the same can be used as a medicament, and especially in treating dentine hypersensitivity.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the surface treatment of a surface-modified calcium carbonate, a surface-treated calcium carbonate obtained by the process as well as the use of the surface-treated calcium carbonate in a polymer composition, in paper making, paper coatings, agricultural applications, paints, adhesives, sealants, construction applications, pharma applications and/or cosmetic applications, or for cross-linking of rubber, in sheet moulding compounds, in bulk moulding compounds, in cross-linkable polyolefin system formulations, preferably for pipes and cables, in cross-linkable polyvinyl chloride, in unsaturated polyesters and in alkyd resins, and the use of the surface-treated calcium carbonate and a curing agent for crosslinking of cross-linkable compounds.
