PAINTS |
Due to its whiteness it is used to extend and partially replace titanium dioxide. The low bulk density facilitates lower concentration per volume. |
|
RUBBER |
Molded parts, lining, flaps, as anti-sticking agent in thread rubber. |
PAPER |
As a body filler and for coating. |
CALCIUM
CARBONATE SUBSTITUTE |
Due to whiteness, fineness and low B.D. it can replace ppt. CaCO 3 in many applications e.g. Hawaii Footwear Straps. |
INSECTICIDES |
As a filler in various technical formulations. |
