Abstract:
The present invention relates to the technical domain of additives for aqueous high solids suspensions of mineral materials. The inventive additive comprises specific primary amines and is used for increasing the pH-value of the suspension and/or for increasing the wettability of the mineral materials.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a method for improving the auto-dispersant characteristic in water of a mineral substance. The method includes the steps of dry-grinding, in the presence of a formulation, a mineral substance selected from a dolomite, talc, titanium dioxide, alumina, kaolin and calcium carbonate, wherein the formulation contains a polyglycerol and no glycerol.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for preparing a surface treated filler material product with succinic anhydride(s), a surface treated filler material product, a polymer composition, a fiber and/or filament and/or film and/or thread comprising the surface treated filler material product and/or the polymer composition, an article comprising the surface treated filler material product and/or the polymer composition and/or the fiber and/or filament and/or film and/or thread as well as the use of a mono-substituted succinic anhydride for decreasing the hydrophilicity of a calcium carbonate-containing filler material surface and the use of a surface-treated filler material product for initiating the crosslinking reaction in epoxide resins.
Abstract:
The present invention refers to a process for making a calcium carbonate containing material, wherein the process includes a specific drying procedure and allows for the provision of calcium carbonate materials with reduced moisture pick-up and low porosity.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for reducing the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of a biocide against at least one strain of bacteria and/or at least one strain of yeast and/or at least one strain of mould in an aqueous preparation. The invention further relates to the use of a water soluble source of lithium ions for reducing the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of a biocide against at least one strain of bacteria and/or at least one strain of yeast and/or at least one strain of mould in an aqueous preparation.
