The present invention relates to a PVC resin composition for preparing foamed polymer products, to a foamed polymer product prepared from the composition, to a method for preparing a foamed polymer product, to an article comprising the foamed polymer product as well as to the use of a surface-reacted calcium carbonate, hydromagnesite and mixtures thereof for reducing the density of the obtained foamed PVC product.
Abstract:
A process is provided for preparing a wet ground mineral material comprising the steps of: a) providing an aqueous suspension comprising a mineral material, wherein the aqueous suspension has a pH value of equal to or above 8.0; b) adding at least one hydroxide base to the aqueous suspension provided in step a); c) wet grinding the aqueous suspension during and/or after step b) to obtain an aqueous suspension comprising a wet ground mineral material, wherein the wet grinding is carried out in the presence of at least one dispersing agent, and wherein the aqueous suspension obtained in step c) has a pH value which is at least 0.10 above the pH value of a comparative aqueous suspension which is obtained by the same process but without carrying out step b).
