Pigment for a coating composition for printing paper

摘要

There is disclosed a paper coating pigment comprising: (a) from 10% to 100% by weight of a first paper coating pigment having a particle size distribution such that at least 75% by weight of the particles have an equivalent spherical diameter smaller than 2 mu m and at least 60% by weight have an equivalent spherical diameter smaller than 1 mu m, the average particle aspect ratio of the size fraction having an equivalent spherical diameter predominantly smaller than 1 mu m being 25 or greater; and (b) up to 90% by weight of a second paper coating pigment.
