Abstract:
A surface-reacted calcium carbonate is described. In embodiments, the surface-reacted calcium carbonate is obtained by a process comprising treating a calcium carbonate-comprising material with at least one H3O+ ion donor, carbon dioxide, and at least one water-soluble metal cation source in an aqueous medium to form an aqueous suspension of surface-reacted calcium carbonate.
Abstract:
An instantly floating gastroretentive drug formulation comprising at least one functionalized natural and/or synthetic calcium carbonate-comprising mineral and at least one pharmaceutically active ingredient and at least one formulating aid 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.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an aqueous calcium carbonate containing composition, to methods for producing such aqueous calcium carbonate containing compositions and to the use of the aqueous calcium carbonate containing composition in paper, paper coating, plastics and/or paint applications and as filler in paper.
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 and oral compositions containing the same can be used as a medicament, and especially in treating dentine hypersensitivity.
Abstract:
The present application relates to a process for preparing a surface-reacted calcium carbonate in an aqueous environment. The process according to the present invention aims at avoiding the mandatory implementation of medium-strong to strong acids. Another aspect of the present invention is directed to an aqueous suspension of surface-reacted calcium carbonate which is obtainable by the inventive process.

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 and oral compositions containing the same can be used in remineralisation and/or whitening of teeth.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for producing a surface-treated calcium carbonate with improved stability in environments with a pH of 4.5 to 7, wherein calcium carbonate, at least one acid having a pKa value from 0 to 8, when measured at 20° C., and at least one conjugate base are brought into contact to form surface-treated calcium carbonate.
