WOLLASTONITE FOR INKS

Wollastonite in Ink & Dye Applications

Wollastonite, a naturally occurring calcium silicate mineral, is increasingly utilized in the ink and dye industry due to its unique physical and chemical properties. Its acicular needle-like structure, high brightness, low oil absorption and chemical inertness make it a valuable functional filler and extender.
