COARSE GROUND CALCIUM CARBONATE WITH HIGH STEEPNESS

摘要

A composition including ground calcium carbonate may have a coarse particle size and high steepness factor. Some compositions may include ground calcium carbonate and an additive, such as kaolin. A coating including ground calcium carbonate may have a course particle size and high steepness factor, and a carrier suspending the ground calcium carbonate. The ground calcium carbonate may have a mean particle size (d50) greater than about 2.4 μm. The ground calcium carbonate may also have a steepness factor greater than about 30. Also described are products including a substrate and a coating applied to the substrate, where the coating includes ground calcium carbonate having a coarse particle size and high steepness factor.
