PROCESS FOR MODIFYING INORGANIC OXYGEN-CONTAINING PARTICULATE MATERIAL, PRODUCT OBTAINED THEREFROM, AND USE THEREOF

The present invention pertains to a process for preparing a modified inorganic oxygen-containing particulate material comprising the steps of: a) preparing a mixture of an aqueous suspension of inorganic oxygen-containing particulate material and an alkoxylated alcohol according to the formula (I) wherein R1 is a C1-C8 alkyl, C4-C8 cycloalkyl or phenyl, R2 is hydrogen or methyl, and n is an integer from 1 to 5; b) optionally adding a first resin and/or a first resin precursor; c) adding one or more coupling agents to the mixture; d) optionally adding a second resin and/or a second resin precursor to the resulting mixture; and wherein optionally water is removed at least partially from the mixture before or during step b), c) or d), or after step d); and optionally converting the first resin precursor into the first resin before, during or after step c) and/or the second resin precursor into the second resin after step d).
