Binder
A binder is a broad category of substances—organic or inorganic—used to hold different materials together in a cohesive mass. Common binders include natural polymers (starch, cellulose derivatives, proteins), synthetic resins (PVA, acrylics, phenolics), and inorganic binders (clays, cement, lime). They are essential in industries such as pharmaceuticals, construction, coatings, ceramics, adhesives, and printing, where they provide structural integrity, adhesion, and controlled release properties.
Calcium Carbonate Filler
Calcium Carbonate Filler is a high-quality, uncoated ground calcium carbonate (GCC) specially engineered for use as a filler in polyethylene (PE) and other polyolefin resins. This grade of calcium carbonate is designed to enhance the physical and mechanical properties of plastics while providing cost-effective bulk and improved processing. It is a fine, white, odorless powder with excellent brightness, high purity, and uniform particle size distribution. Its use improves stiffness, impact resistance, dimensional stability, and surface finish in polyethylene applications such as films, sheets, pipes, and molded parts.
Calcium Carbonate Light
Calcium Carbonate Light is a finely ground, low bulk density natural mineral composed primarily of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃). Compared to standard grades, it has a lower density and larger particle size distribution, making it suitable for applications where light weight and high brightness are important. This form is extensively used as a filler and extender in industries such as plastics, paints, rubber, paper, adhesives, and construction materials to improve opacity, brightness, and texture, while maintaining low weight and cost efficiency. Its chemical inertness and whiteness provide functional and aesthetic advantages across formulations.
Corn Starch Industrial Grade
Corn Starch Industrial Grade is a finely milled, white powder derived from the endosperm of maize (Zea mays). Unlike food-grade starch, industrial grade is tailored for non-food applications where its thickening, adhesive, and film-forming properties are exploited. It consists primarily of amylose and amylopectin polysaccharides and is valued for its biodegradability, renewability, and cost-effectiveness. Industrial corn starch is used extensively as a raw material or functional additive across a wide variety of manufacturing processes, including paper, textiles, adhesives, and packaging industries.
Filler WTD
Filler WTD is a versatile, finely processed powdered filler primarily used in a wide range of industrial applications including paints, coatings, plastics, adhesives, sealants, rubber compounds, and construction materials. It is engineered to improve product performance by enhancing mechanical properties, increasing volume, reducing cost, and improving processing characteristics. Filler WTD typically exhibits excellent dispersibility, consistent particle size distribution, and good compatibility with various resin systems and binders. Its primary role is to act as an inert extender or reinforcing agent, providing bulk and stability while maintaining or enhancing the physical and chemical properties of the final formulation.
LDPE film 200F
LDPE film 200F is a low-density polyethylene (LDPE) film with a thickness of 200 microns (0.2 mm). It is a flexible, transparent, and durable plastic film known for its excellent impact resistance, moisture barrier properties, and chemical inertness. LDPE films are widely used in packaging, agricultural applications, and protective coverings due to their toughness, ease of sealing, and resistance to tearing. The 200F grade indicates a medium thickness suitable for heavy-duty wrapping and industrial uses.
Styrene Acrylic
Styrene Acrylic is a copolymer emulsion combining styrene and acrylic monomers, widely used as a versatile binder in coatings, adhesives, and construction materials. It offers excellent film-forming properties, adhesion, water resistance, and durability. This product enhances the performance and longevity of paints, sealants, textiles, and paper coatings, with flexibility for both indoor and outdoor applications. Styrene Acrylic emulsions are designed to meet stringent industrial and environmental standards.
Xysil 200 Fumed Silica 200
Xysil 200 Fumed Silica 200 is a high-purity fumed silica produced through flame hydrolysis of silicon tetrachloride. It is an ultra-fine, amorphous, white powder with a very high surface area and low bulk density. Xysil 200 is widely used as a reinforcing filler, thickening agent, anti-caking agent, and rheology modifier in various industrial applications. Its unique physical properties improve the mechanical strength, viscosity, and stability of formulated products.
