Treated mineral filler product, and its uses

摘要

The present invention relates to the domain of mineral filler treatment processes. The process for the preparation of a treated mineral filler product comprises the following steps:
(a) treating at least one dry mineral filler with at least one Group II or Group III salt of a C8 to C24 aliphatic monocarboxylic acid to produce an intermediate mineral filler product; followed by
(b) treating the intermediate mineral filler product of step (a) with at least one C8 to C24 aliphatic monocarboxylic acid to produce a treated mineral filler product. Applications in particular to prepare treated mineral filler products (such as Ca carbonate) to be used in plastic applications such as in polypropylene (PP) - or polyethylene (PE) - based breathable or extrusion coating film applications.
