Wollastonite is a calcium inosilicate mineral (CaSiO₃) with a theoretical makeup of approximately 48% calcium oxide and 52% silicon dioxide. Wollastonite is usually white in color. It may contain small amounts of iron, magnesium, and manganese which can give it a gray, red, or brown tint. Wollastonite is an industrially important mineral. It is well known for its good fluorescence. It also has low moisture and absorption properties.

Cales De Llierca Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (Pcc) is a precipitated calcium carbonate with scalenohedral morphology. Its particular structure, purity and size distribution curve enable increased whiteness and opacity when it is used as filler in paper.

Iparsol 60 (iso-Hexane) is a special boiling point product, mixture of paraffinic and naphthenic hydrocarbons with a very low aromatic content, typical value max. 50 ppm. By using suitable raw materials and hydrogenation processes, we are able to produce this product with only a mild odor. By varying the naphtenic content we can adjust the solvating properties.

Iparsol 90 (iso-Heptane) is a special boiling point product, mixture of paraffinic and naphthenic hydrocarbons with a very low aromatic content, typical value max. 50 ppm. By using suitable raw materials and hydrogenation processes, we are able to produce this product with only a mild odor. By varying the naphtenic content we can adjust the solvating properties.

Marathwada Chemicals Gloss White is a companion product to light ALUMINA HYDRATE. The use of GLOSS WHITE as a dry pigment powder has also been confined mainly to PAPER & INK applications. Gloss white is valued for its soft, non abrasive texture and its excellent working and printing properties. It is less susceptible to "Livering" than light ALUMINA HYDRATE. Although GLOSS WHITE is more expensive than a mechanical blend of 3BaSo4/Al(OH)3, the coprecipitate is favored on the basis of superior processing characteristics and reduced tendency to absorb drier from ink vechicles on storage.

NASIL 3.35 is sodium silicate obtained by fusing quartz sand and sodium carbonate at high temperatures. In the solid state they are amorphous and look like glass. They dissolve in water (waterglass) to afford colloidal solutions of an alkaline nature.

KSIL® 2.2 is potassium silicate obtained by fusing quartz sand and potassium carbonate at high temperature. In the solid state they are amorphous and look like glass. They dissolve in water (waterglass) to afford colloidal solutions of an alkaline nature.
