APPLICATION OF
COATED GCC PRODUCTS

PLASTICS

GCC is a popular additive in plastic manufacturing. It allows polymers to heat and cool faster resulting in higher productivity for plastic producers. The use of GCC in plastic production reduces the energy used during the manufacture process.

PVC CABLES

Use of calcium carbonate as a filler can increase insulating effect GCC trated with stearic acid are used in PVC cables.

Products (M50T & M60T)

PIPES &

FITTINGS

Calcium carbonate improves the base properties of polyvinyl chloride by adding stiffness to the polymer matrix and improving impact resistance as particle sizes become smaller. This can be achieved in larger diameter pipes using a formulation containing a 2-3 micron.

Products (M25T, M30T, M40T and M50T)

MASTER BATCH

Most polyolefin fabricators will use calcium carbonate via master batches in their processes. These are generally 70 to 80% by weight calcium carbonate in a polyolefin carrier resin.

RAFFIA

This specialized calcium carbonate is a great opportunity to cut raw material costs and improve the quality of nonwoven fabrics. The higher thermal conductivity and lower specific heat of calcium carbonate are key advantages in molding applications.

RUBBER

Ground calcium carbonate is used in a wide variety of rubber applications as both an extender and detacktifying agent. In other calcium carbonate rubber applications, it can add stiffness or provide abrasion resistance.
