Minerals Technologies Signs Agreement with Nalco to Distribute Nalco's FillerTEK(R) Technology as Part of the Fulfill(TM) Portfolio
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
NEW YORK, October 26-Minerals Technologies Inc. (NYSE:MTX) today announced an
agreement with Nalco (NYSE: NLC) of Naperville, Illinois, under which Specialty
Minerals Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Minerals Technologies, will
distribute Nalco FillerTEK® technology for paper mills using precipitated
calcium carbonate (PCC) as a filler in the papermaking process.
"We are pleased to join with Nalco to distribute their FillerTEK® technology,
which we will distribute under the FulFill(TM) V name," said D.J. Monagle,
senior vice president and managing director, Paper PCC. "This enables us to
augment our Fulfill(TM) portfolio of high-filler technologies that provides
papermakers a variety of solutions to reduce costs by decreasing dependency on
more expensive fiber."
Adds Brent Carpenter, Nalco Strategic Business Leader for Paper Services:
"Minerals Technologies is the world's leading producer of PCC to the global
paper industry. We are pleased with this agreement and that our patent-pending
technology will enhance their Fulfill(TM) suite of solutions in which Minerals
Technologies currently provides to graphic papers producers around the world."
Fulfill((TM)) High-Filler Technologies is a portfolio of products and solutions
designed to provide papermakers with the ability to increase the amount of
filler content in paper by one to 10 percent, and beyond. Increased fill rates
reduces the amount of fiber in papermaking and creates substantial operational
savings for the papermaker.
FillerTEK technology preserves the critical strength and optical attributes of
the final sheet while increasing the particle size of the filler through a
unique method of pre-flocculation. The result is reduced interference of the
filler with fiber-fiber bonding in the paper. Nalco retains the right to sell
FillerTEK® technology in countries and areas outside of Minerals Technologies'
exclusive distributorship territory.
