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 Uncoated
Calcium Carbonate Uncoated is a naturally occurring mineral compound composed primarily of calcium, carbon, and oxygen with the chemical formula CaCO₃. It appears as a fine white powder or granules, widely used as a filler, pigment, and functional additive across various industries. The uncoated form means the calcium carbonate particles are not surface-treated, retaining their natural properties. It is valued for its high brightness, whiteness, and excellent compressibility. Uncoated calcium carbonate is used to enhance opacity, improve processing, and reduce costs in plastics, paints, coatings, adhesives, rubber, paper, and construction materials.
Magnesium Carbonate Light
Magnesium Carbonate Light is a fine, white, odorless powder primarily composed of magnesium carbonate (MgCO₃). It is characterized by its light texture and high purity. This mineral compound is widely used across various industries due to its excellent absorption properties, mild alkalinity, and non-toxic nature. Magnesium Carbonate Light is commonly employed as an antacid, drying agent, filler, and flow aid in food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial applications.
Polymer Fiber
Polymer Fiber refers to a wide range of synthetic fibers made from polymer materials such as polypropylene, polyester, nylon, polyethylene, and acrylics. These fibers are engineered for high tensile strength, durability, flexibility, and resistance to chemicals and moisture. Polymer fibers are widely used in construction, textiles, filtration, composites, and industrial applications to improve mechanical properties, enhance structural integrity, and provide specialized functional benefits.
PP Raffia RH03( Wooven)
PP Raffia RH03( Wooven) is a woven polypropylene fabric made from homopolymer polypropylene resin, designed for high strength, durability, and excellent dimensional stability. It is widely used in the manufacturing of woven sacks, bags, and other flexible packaging solutions. The woven structure enhances tear resistance and load-bearing capacity, making it suitable for industrial and agricultural packaging applications.
Sodium Alumina Silicate
Sodium Alumina Silicate is an inorganic compound consisting of sodium, aluminum, and silicon oxides. It is typically found as a white, amorphous powder with excellent adsorption and ion-exchange properties. Commonly used as a detergent builder, water softener, and desiccant, sodium alumina silicate improves cleaning efficiency, controls water hardness, and aids moisture absorption. Its thermal stability and chemical inertness make it valuable across detergent manufacturing, water treatment, and various industrial processes.
Whiting
Whiting is a finely ground, white, chalky substance primarily composed of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃). It is widely used as a pigment, filler, and extender in various industrial and commercial applications. Whiting provides opacity, brightness, and smoothness to products, enhancing their appearance and physical properties. Its natural abundance and versatility make it an economical additive in multiple manufacturing processes.
