Application
Ground Calcium Carbonate (GCC) is widely used in various industries as a component of raw materials for production, including masterbatch filler, PVC pipe, plastic, latex gloves, rubber, paint & coating, paper, plastic film and others.
Production of plastic products, namely to reduce production cost. Increases heat resistance, strength and durability / product lifetime. Improves flexibility properties and elasticity.
The use of calcium carbonate can provide various advantages processing characteristics of rigid cellular PVC. Some of the advantages of The use of calcium carbonate in rigid PVC, among others, acts as a nucleating agent, significantly improve impact resistance and improve surface finish product.
Calcium carbonate can help provide opacity and surface gloss, thereby increasing the surface finish of the product. In addition, if the particle size is controlled properly, CaCO3 can helps increase the impact resistance and stiffness of the product plastic.
Calcium carbonate in the paint industry, serves as white mix. In addition, the material also has a function that good as a color dispersion agent. That is, the spread of the color pigment on the paint will be more optimal. The use of calcium carbonate in paint is also good to increase power hold it.
RUBBER
Calcium carbonate was one of the earliest fillers and the largest used in the rubber industry. Calcium carbonate filled in a large number of rubber products, which can not only increase the volume product, but also saves expensive natural rubber or synthetic rubber for achieve the goal of reducing cost.
CABLE
Used as a material for insulation (insulation) because this material has physical properties (tensile strength and elongation) and chemical properties (resistance to some materials chemical) which is very good, the process is easy (by extrusion, injection) and price inexpensive.
