Advantages of using CaCO3 in thermoplastics
  • Reduce cost (beneficial increase in weight and volume)
  • Lower plate out
  • Higher abrasion resistance
  • Increase in stiffness and modulus of elasticity
  • Improve processibility
  • Act as anti blocking agent
  • Improves surface printability
  • Improves stability and aging resistance
  • Improvement in the surface quality of finished parts
  • Improve mold release, reduce surface blooming
  • Increase hot tear strength
  • Reduce shrinkage rate
Recommendation for use

CaCO3 masterbatch/compound products can be blended at a metered rate into the processing equipment. The addition of these product(s) to polymer at levels ranging from 10%-50% by weight will increase the “toughness” and impact strength.
