Patent number: 5837049Abstract: A treated inorganic solid comprises particulate inorganic material the particles of which are coated with an alkylphosphonic acid or ester thereof, the alkylphosphonic acid containing 6 to 22 carbon atoms. The particulate material is usually a pigment, extender or filler which is treated by mixing with the alkylphosphonic acid or ester for example in an aqueous dispersion or during a process step such as milling. The treated inorganic solid is particularly useful for preparing polymer compositions such as masterbatches.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 1997Date of Patent: November 17, 1998Assignee: Tioxide Group Services LimitedInventors: Colin Lloyd Watson, Peter James Allen
