  • the fatty acid can be added to the slurry in a molten state or in solid form.
  • the fatty acid may also be added to the slurry or solution before or during the (solvo)thermal treatment of step b).
  • This latter route is preferred over the former, because the resulting product is more hydrophobic and its compatibility with a polymeric matrix such as PVC is improved.
  • the treated LDH may form less agglomerates and may be more finely and uniformly distributed throughout a polymeric matrix. It is believed - without being bound by any theory - that compared to a treated LDH obtained via the after-treatment route, the treated LDH is coated more efficiently and more extensively.
  • the fatty acid can be added as a magnesium or zinc salt to the slurry or solution in step a) or during step b) of the process of the invention.
  • This has the advantage that the magnesium and/or zinc ions of the fatty acid salt can be used in the formation of the LDH, so that no salts remain in the waste stream.
  • Suitable examples of such fatty acid salts are magnesium stearate and zinc stearate.
  • the amount of coating agent used in the process of the invention generally is from 0.01 to 10 percent by weight (wt%), preferably from 0.1 to 8 wt%, and most preferably from 0.2 to 5 wt%, based on the weight of the divalent and trivalent metal ion sources.
