NEXUSKOT 55 as a paper filler

Water-washed NEXUSKOT 55 (Kaolin) has been used very effectively over the past 22 years as filler in paper manufacture. It has been used in supercalendered mechanical (magazine) paper as well as in packaging papers and newsprint. Tests have shown it can also be used in board production as filler in the white top liner.
