Abstract
The invention relates to the manufacture of pigment-containing composite pigment particles containing titanium dioxide pigment particles and at least one inorganic and/or organic filler as extender, as well as calcium carbonate that is precipitated in the process, and their use for improving the pigment light-scattering efficiency in coatings, plastics and laminates. The extender is preferably selected from Ca-, Ca—Mg- and Mg-carbonates, natural and synthetic silicon dioxide and oxides and are manufactured in a combined process of precipitation and dispersion. Depending on the combination selected, the use of composite pigment particles according to the invention permits pigment savings with little or no loss of optical properties. Alternatively, if the pigment content remains unchanged, it is possible to achieve better values, e.g. for tinting strength. Particularly, a part or the whole TiO2 quantity in the user system can be replaced by the composite pigment particles according to the invention.
