This new continuing service program completes a realignment of Kline's longstanding Extender and Filler Minerals program in North America and Western Europe, for companies serving non-paper performance mineral markets.

Beyond the change in the title of this service, the scope of this new report includes a broader slate of products and markets compared to past extender and filler minerals reports. New markets that are now covered as part of this annual service include health and personal care, food, agriculture, and catalysts. In addition, other markets such as paints and coatings and sealants are analyzed as part of the construction materials market, which drives the consumption of these products.
