Product characteristics

• Calprec PA is also especially suitable in paint formulations as an agent that provides hiding power and as high brightness white pigment and therefore used as titanium dioxide extender.
• Calprec PE/PN are a series of precipitated calcium carbonates with aragonitical structure and are used as paper fillers where good opacity value, easy retention and sheet filtrability are needed.
