(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Unique High-Filler Technology Will Provide Significant Cost Savings in Reduced
Fiber Consumption by Increasing PCC Filler Usage 20%
----------
NEW YORK, April 12-Minerals Technologies Inc., (NYSE: MTX) announced today that
it has signed a commercial agreement with Flambeau River Papers to provide
Fulfill(TM) E-325, a new, high-filler technology, at the paper company's mill in
Park Falls, Wisconsin.
Minerals Technologies now has six agreements with paper mills that have adopted
the Fulfill(TM) E-325 technology that the company introduced in late 2010. This
agreement with Flambeau River Paper is the first in North America.
These agreements confirm the commercial progress of the Fulfill(TM) brand, a
portfolio of high-filler technologies that offers papermakers a variety of
efficient, flexible solutions that decreases dependency on natural fiber and
reduces costs. The Fulfill(TM) E-325 series allows papermakers to increase
loading levels of precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) by three to five points,
which replaces higher cost pulp, and increases PCC usage between 20 to 30
percent.
"We are very pleased that Flambeau River Papers has agreed to adopt this new
technology on select grades of production that will allow them to produce
quality paper at lower cost," said D.J. Monagle, senior vice president &
managing director, Paper PCC. "We are also very pleased to commercialize our
FulFill(TM) E-325 of technology to North America for the first time, reaffirming
the revitalization of our new product pipeline, and of our commitment to advance
our technology leadership throughout our satellite network around the world."
PCC is a specialty pigment for filling and coating high-quality paper. By
substituting Minerals Technologies' PCC for more expensive wood fiber, customers
are able to produce brighter, higher quality paper at lower cost. In 1986,
Minerals Technologies originated the satellite concept for making and delivering
PCC on-site at paper mills and the concept was a major factor in revolutionizing
papermaking in North America. Today, the company has 56 satellite plants in
operation or under construction around the world and continues to lead the
industry with consistent quality and technical innovation.
Minerals Technologies Inc. is a 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.
