The invention relates to a method for manufacturing an extender pigment from ash, and an extender pigment and its use and an extender pigment product and a final product.

The produced composite product can be used as a filler pigment or coating pigment in the production of paper.

The paint may comprise a water-dispersible acryl-modified alkyd resin, a pigment, an extender pigment, asurfactant and water as active ingredients.

A pigment composition includes a pigment extender which optionally contains a pigment, and further includes a non-hydrogenated phospholipid material, such as non-hydrogenated lecithin, and a surface modifying agent.

The filler material in the pigment extender can improve the hiding power of many types of paint formulations.

A pigment extender can include microcrystalline.silica, nepheline syenite and/or a silica coated metal fluoride.

The filler material in the pigment extender can be useful in flat paints that require relatively low sheen values.

Here, however, instead of the luminescent pigments, a filler is used, preferably a mixture of barium titanate and titanium dioxide.

The filler material can be used partially or fully as a pigment extender in a covering agent such as paint to improve the properties of the paint.

A process for producing a loading pigment dispersion for oil-based-ink printing which necessitates a lower transport cost than in conventional processes and greatly improves productivity.
