The present invention relates to the use of inhibited calcium carbonate as an additive to a composition comprising at least one non-cellulosic polymer, wherein said inhibited calcium carbonate can be obtained by coating calcium carbonate particles with a composition, The composition to coat the calcium carbonate microparticles comprises at least 0.1% by weight, based on its total weight, of at least one weak acid. The present invention further describes a composition comprising at least one non-cellulosic polymer and inhibited calcium carbonate, wherein said inhibited calcium carbonate can be obtained by coating calcium carbonate microparticles with a composition, coating The composition of calcium carbonate microparticles comprises at least 0.1% by weight, based on its total weight, of at least one weak acid. Preferred fields of application of the composition include its use in food packaging, agricultural and horticultural products, catering supplies, office supplies, medical technology products, composite materials and/or in 3D printing methods. |
