Joseph C. Muscari, chairman and CEO, said: "We are extremely pleased that this fine producer of high quality printing and writing papers has chosen to build upon the positive results that came with the earlier startup of an on-site PCC satellite plant. PCC filler has enabled better quality and lower cost and we are confident that Fulfill®will extend their savings. The continuing adoption of our FulFill®technology by our satellite PCC customers is a testament to our capability as global leader in papermaking technology."
The Fulfill®E-325 series allows papermakers to increase loading levels of
precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC), replacing higher cost fiber, and
increasing PCC usage without compromising paper quality or performance. The
advancement of this new technology confirms the commercial progress of the
Fulfill®brand,
which offers papermakers a variety of efficient, flexible solutions that decreases
dependency on natural fiber and reduces costs.
PCC is a specialty pigment for filling and coating high-quality paper.
Minerals Technologies Inc. is a resource- and technology-based growth company that develops, produces and markets worldwide a broad range of specialty mineral, mineral-based and synthetic mineral products and related systems and services.
