Aluminium Silicate
Aluminium silicate is an inorganic compound composed of aluminum, silicon, and oxygen, often found naturally as a major component of clay minerals such as kaolinite, halloysite, and other aluminosilicates. It is a white to off-white powder with excellent thermal stability, chemical inertness, and physical durability. Due to its wide range of physicochemical properties—including high melting point, non-toxicity, and adsorptive capabilities—aluminium silicate is extensively used across diverse industries including ceramics, paints, paper, rubber, plastics, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Its unique structure imparts benefits such as heat resistance, improved mechanical strength, and anti-caking properties, making it a vital raw material in both industrial and consumer products.
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.
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.
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.
