Abstract: The present invention refers to a method for the production of granules comprising surface-reacted calcium carbonate, granules comprising a surface-reacted calcium carbonate having a bulk density ranging from 0.25 to 0.70 g/mL, preferably from 0.28 to 0.65 g/mL, more preferably from 0.30 to 0.60 g/mL, and most preferably from 0.35 to 0.60 g/mL and the use of the granules n a nutraceutical product, agricultural product, veterinary product, cosmetic product, preferably in a dry cosmetic and/or dry skin care composition, home product, food product, packaging product or personal care product, preferably in an oral care composition, or as excipient in a pharmaceutical product.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of rotogravure printing, and more specifically to a rotogravure printing medium, a coating composition for rotogravure printing media, a method for producing such a rotogravure printing medium and an use of the rotogravure printing medium in a printing application, preferably in rotogravure printing using electrostatic assist (ESA).

Abstract: Quite unexpectedly, by suitably modifying the crystal structure of hydrogarnets of the general formula MII3MrI-III2(OH)12 (where MII denotes divalent metal ions, especially alkaline earth metal ions, of Group IIA of the periodic table and MIII denotes trivalent metal ions of Group IIIA of the periodic table, especially aluminum) with suitable amounts of incorporated silicate and/or phosphate, flame retardants having both a higher flame retardant efficiency than such traditional mineral flame retardants as ATH and MDH, and a higher thermal stability than ATH can be produced. It has also been found that synthetic hydrogarnets of the general formula MII3MrIII2(OH)12(where MII and MIII are as defined above) having cubic crystal and these synthetic hydrogarnets also show high flame retardant efficiency.
