Binder
Whatsapp Order
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 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.
Carbon Black
Carbon Black is a fine black powder composed of elemental carbon in the form of near-spherical colloidal particles and coalesced particle aggregates. It is produced through the incomplete combustion or thermal decomposition of hydrocarbons such as oil or natural gas. Depending on the manufacturing process (e.g., furnace black, channel black, thermal black, or acetylene black), it exhibits varying particle sizes, surface areas, and structures. Carbon Black is valued for its pigmenting, reinforcing, conductive, and UV-protective properties. It is widely used in rubber production, plastics, inks, coatings, batteries, and electronics. Its high surface area and fine particle size make it indispensable in applications requiring durability, color depth, or conductivity.
Coated Calcium Carbonate
Coated Calcium Carbonate is a fine, white, odorless powder consisting of naturally occurring ground calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) treated with a surface coating—typically stearic acid or other fatty acids—to enhance compatibility with non-polar matrices. This coating improves dispersion in plastic and rubber formulations, reduces moisture pickup, and enhances the physical properties of the final product. Compared to uncoated grades, coated calcium carbonate offers better hydrophobicity, improved flow properties, and stronger interfacial bonding in polymeric systems. It is widely used in plastics, rubber, paints, sealants, adhesives, paper, and more.
Melamine
Melamine is an organic compound widely used as a raw material in the production of melamine-formaldehyde resins, laminates, adhesives, coatings, and flame retardants. It offers excellent hardness, thermal stability, and chemical resistance.
