USE OF WATER SOLUBLE POLYMERS AS DISPERSION AGENT OF AQUEOUS CALCIUM CARBONATE SUSPENSION, RESULTING AQUEOUS SUSPENSIONS AND THEIR USES

摘要

The invention concerns the use of water soluble homopolymers and/or copolymers of acrylic acid with one or several acrylic, vinyl or allyl monomers as dispersion agents of aqueous suspension of mineral particles derived from a mechanical and/or thermal upgrading step following a wet-process grinding step not using dispersant and with low dry-matter concentration. The invention also concerns said aqueous suspensions and their uses in paper making, paint, fillers for rubber and synthetic resins, detergent and cleaning formulations, ceramics, drilling fluids, cements, plasters and other uses in civil engineering, the building sector and public works.
