New York, Jan 5, 2012 - (ACN Newswire) - Minerals Technologies Inc. (NYSE: MTX), a worldwide manufacturer of minerals products, has launched two new antiblock products for use in plastic film and bag applications.
Specialty Minerals Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Minerals Technologies and a leader in mineral additives, has launched Optibloc(R) 8 and Optibloc(R) 325 talc blends, new antiblocking products for high-clarity film and bag applications.

OPTIBLOC(R) 8 antiblock is the next generation of Minerals Technologies' patented OPTIBLOC(R) antiblock product line, which is utilized globally in polyethylene films.
