Mineral Filler

Mineral filler is a finely divided mineral product, at least 70 percent of which will pass a 0.075mm (no. 200) sieve. Pulverized limestone is the most commonly manufactured filler. Other types include stone dust, hydrated lime, portland cement, and certain natural deposits of finely divided mineral matter.
