Abstract:
Self binding mineral pigments (such as kaolin clay) having a high surface area and particle size in the nano scale range are provided which are useful in paper coating and filling, ink jet coating formulations, paint compositions, and as a filler in rubbers, plastics and polymers. These self binding pigments are manufactured by intensive wet milling of a mineral composition which may optionally be subjected to intensive dry grinding and acid treatment prior to wet milling or an acid treatment following dry grinding and wet milling.

Claim (Index 1):
A self binding nano particle mineral pigment having an increased surface area wherein the pigment is produced by a process comprising the sequential steps of:\n A. obtaining a beneficiated mineral composition; and B. wet milling the beneficiated mineral composition under conditions of high intensity to produce a mineral pigment,\n whereby a majority of particles of the wet milled mineral pigment have a particle size of less than 200 nanometers and the particles of the mineral pigment are increased in surface area and decreased in particle size as compared to the dry ground mineral composition prior to wet milling.
