Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing surface-modified inorganic fillers or pigments of a desired particle size. Said method is characterized in that filler or pigment slurries of inorganic fillers or pigments are milled to the desired particle size under the action of compressive and shear forces using polymer dispersions, whereby the fillers and/or pigments are additionally brought into contact with conventional milling auxiliary agents and/or dispersants (active agent) in a quantity of between 0.1 and 2.0 wt. %, in relation to the fillers or pigments. The invention also relates to the fillers and pigments that are obtained by said method and to their use for producing dispersion inks, adhesives, coatings or coating compounds for the paper industry, in particular coating compounds used in various industry segments, such as sheet fed offset printing, roll offset printing, gravure printing and for the production of cardboard and special papers.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of coating dispersions for use in the paper industry by co-grinding natural calcium carbonate (GCC) and precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC), characterized in that powdery GCC is co-ground with a slurry containing from 5 to 70% by weight of PCC to obtain a particle size distribution of the calcium carbonate with at least 90% by weight of smaller than 5 ?m, at least 70% by weight of smaller than 2 ?m, and at least 20% by weight of smaller than 1 ?m, with a weight average particle size within a range of from 0.7 to 3 ?m.
