SURFACE-TREATED CALCIUM CARBONATE AND PASTE-LIKE RESIN COMPOSITION CONTAINING SAME

摘要

Disclosed are: surface-treated calcium carbonate which can impart a high viscosity and excellent thixotropic properties to a paste-like resin composition when added to the composition and can impart good mechanical properties and good adhesion properties to a cured product of the paste-like resin composition; and a paste-like resin composition containing the surface-treated calcium carbonate. The surface-treated calcium carbonate is produced by treating the surface of calcium carbonate with a surface-treating agent comprising a sodium salt or a potassium salt of a fatty acid, is characterized in that the sum total of PW and SW (PW + SW) is 90 or more and the ratio of PW to SW (PW/SW) falls within the range from 0.30 to 1.1 inclusive (wherein PW represents the content (wt%) of the sodium salt or the potassium salt of palmitic acid in the surface-treating agent in terms of acid content; and SW represents the content (wt%) of the sodium salt or the potassium salt of stearic acid in the surface-treating agent in terms of acid content), and is also characterized in that SA 2 falls within the range from 15 to 48 inclusive and the ratio of FA to SA 2 (FA/SA 2 ) falls within the range from 0.095 to 0.135 inclusive (wherein SA 2 represents the BET specific surface area (m 2 /g) of the surface-treated calcium carbonate; and FA represents the amount of the sodium salt or the potassium salt of the fatty acid to be used for the treatment in terms of acid content relative to 100 parts by weight of calcium carbonate).
