According to the Itaconix fact sheet on XDP 820 samples are available on request and to contact sales for ordering quantities and pricing. The fact sheet says the 3 minerals it is particularly effective at dispersing are: Calcium Carbonate, Titanium Dioxide and Clay. All 3 of these have hundreds of applications where improved dispersion in water would save manufacturers money and help the environment. I thought of a few examples:
Calcium carbonate - used in construction industry eg cement, oil industry in drilling fluids, to get the pH correct in Swimming pools, making glossy paper, diapers.
Titanium dioxide - is a pigment used in everything from paints to toothpaste, adhesives to ceramics.
Clays - uses include paper making, cement production, and chemical filtering.
