Abstract: The invention provides surface-treated spherical calcium carbonate particles for use in cosmetics which comprise spherical calcium carbonate particles having a volume mean diameter in a range of 0.5 to 20 ?m, and having on their surfaces a hydrous silica coating, and further a silicone oil coating on the hydrous silica coating. The surface-treated spherical calcium carbonate particles for use in cosmetics are obtained by forming a hydrous silica coating on the surfaces of spherical calcium carbonate particles, and then by forming a silicone oil coating on the surfaces of the hydrous silica coating of the particles.

Abstract: The object of the present disclosure is to obtain a filler particle having stable insulation property, and a resin composition, grease, and a coating composition comprising the same, respectively. Filler particles comprising a composite zinc oxide expressed by the following chemical formula (1): ZnxMyO??(1) in the formula, M is Mg, Co, Li, K, Na, or Cu, and x+ny/2=1 when the valence of M is n.

Abstract: The present invention has an object to provide a method for producing particulate barium carbonate having desired properties such as high purity, fineness, and has a spherical shape. The present invention relates to a method of producing substantially spherical barium carbonate, including (A) mixing, in an aqueous medium, a barium compound with at least one first ingredient selected from the group consisting of gluconic acid or salts thereof, gluconolactone, glucoheptonic acid or salts thereof, and glucoheptonolactone, to prepare a mixture; and (B) reacting the barium compound with carbon dioxide or a water-soluble carbonate in the mixture, to produce substantially spherical barium carbonate.

Abstract: The present invention has an object to provide a flaky particulate material giving skin an excellent smoothness, which is free from whitening problem upon use thereof owing to its high transparency. The present invention also has another object to provide a cosmetic composition containing the flaky particulate material. The present invention relates to flaky particulate material, which has an average coefficient of friction is not more than 0.50, and a total light transmittance is not less than 85%. A particle in the flaky particulate material comprises a substrate particle made of one material selected from the group consisting of mica, a synthetic mica, sericite, talc, barium sulfate and aluminum oxide. The present invention provides a flaky particulate material that gives skin excellent smoothness, a natural tone, and a matt appearance. The flaky particulate material of the present invention gives a cosmetic composition which provides great comfort of use, and an excellent appearance.

Abstract: As barium sulfate which is used as a filler of a resin composition for an electronic equipment, a precipitated barium sulfate which is synthesized from barium sulfide contains a sulfur component as an impurity so that metal parts such as electrodes of electronic parts maybe deteriorated and corroded by a hydrogen sulfide component volatilized from the barium sulfate to reduce the function, the durability, and the reliability of electronic equipment when used for resin compositions such as an ink, a film, and a sheet which are used for an electronic equipment. Barium sulfate composite particles having a zinc compound adhered to the particle surface and having an average particle diameter of 0.01 to 10 ?m.
