Patent ID: 7341625

Claim:
A process comprising coating a surface of finely divided inorganic solid particles with at least two different organic additives to form coated finely divided inorganic solids, wherein at least one of said additives is selected from the group consisting of a wetting agent, dispersing agent or deflocculating agent, wherein said finely divided inorganic solid particles are in the form of an aqueous suspension or in the form of a filter cake and the two different organic additives are coated on to the finely divided inorganic solid particles separately or in the form of a mixture, wherein the coated particles are dried to form coated finely divided inorganic solid particles and wherein the coated finely divided inorganic solid particles have a mean particle size d 50 of from 0.001 to 20 μm, wherein the wetting, dispersing or deflocculating agent comprises at least one of the substances selected from the group consisting of an alkali metal salt of an organic acid, an ammonium salt of an organic acid, an alkali metal salt of an acrylate copolymer, an alkali metal salt of a methacrylate copolymer, a polyphosphate, a poly (meth)acrylate, a polyether, an anionically modified polyether, a fatty alcohol polyglycol ether, a modified polyurethanes and an anionically active aliphatic ester.
