Precipitated calcium carbonate and ground calcium carbonate products are used in many paint (architectural, industrial, and traffic) and ink applications as either a function filler or TiO₂ extender. Paints, inks and coatings are versatile and require specific solutions in order to maximize their performance. Without raw materials such as pigments and fillers, performance would suffer. Magnum Fill® and Magnum Gloss® Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) products are designed to provide optimum performance in coating and ink applications. These products provide:

• Cost savings by reducing or extending TiO₂ use
• Functional benefits such as improved wet and dry hide
• Improved optical properties, including increased opacity and exceptional gloss development for semi-gloss coatings

The ability to control the crystal morphology, discrete particle size, oil absorption, and particle distribution is the key to the high performance capabilities of Magnum Fill^® and Magnum Gloss^® PCC.
