Minerals Technologies Launches New Products for Application in Paints and Coatings
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
NEW YORK, April 10-Minerals Technologies Inc., (NYSE: MTX) announced today that
it has launched three new precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) products for
extension of titanium dioxide (TiO(2)) in paints and coatings applications.
Specialty Minerals Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Minerals Technologies and
a leader in mineral additives, has introduced ALBAFIL(®) T10 and ALBACAR(®) T10.
These new products have been specifically designed with morphology and particle
size to provide spacing and light-scattering properties in architectural paints
and industrial coatings formulations. A 70-percent aqueous slurry version,
ALBAFIL(®) S10, is also available for waterborne formulations. These products
are very effective in semi-gloss, satin, egg-shell and flat paint formulations.
The morphology and particle size distribution allows for 10-percent replacement
of TiO(2) with minimal reduction of white brightness, opacity, hiding and gloss.
In addition, there is little affect on the viscosity, scrub and stain resistance
of the paints produced. Incorporating ALBAFIL(®) or ALBACAR(®) products provide
performance and cost effective solutions for paints and coatings applications.
"These new PCC offerings provide manufacturers of paints and coatings a more
cost-effective alternative for their product formulations," said Joseph C.
Muscari, chairman and chief executive officer of Minerals Technologies. "The
development of these new products is a result of the company's revitalized new
product development process and our continuing initiatives to provide our
customers with value-added alternatives and problem solutions."
Minerals Technologies Inc. is a global resource- and technology-based growth
company that develops, produces and markets worldwide a broad range of specialty
mineral, mineral-based and synthetic mineral products and related systems and
services. The company recorded sales of $1.04 billion in 2011.
