Calcium Carbonate In Pipe & PVC Compounding
As functional filler in plastics, YAMUNA CALCIUM® provides advantages in terms of optical properties, such as whiteness, gloss, and surface quality. The special particle shape supports good process ability.
YAMUNA CALCIUM® products feature a high degree of chemical purity, reactivity, and particle fineness. This makes them particularly suitable as separating agents and lubricants in the manufacture of plastics.
PVC window profiles / frames with its specially tuned properties, YAMUNA CALCIUM® contributes significantly to the improvement of optical properties such as whiteness, gloss and surface finish, mechanical properties such as notched impact strength, and to the
weathering durability of PVC window profiles. As a result, window frames require less frequent
cleaning, have a longer service life and retain their high-quality appearance over the long term.
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is widely used in the plastic industry due to its beneficial properties and cost-effectiveness. Here are the key uses and advantages of calcium carbonate in the plastic industry:
1) Volume Enhancement: Calcium carbonate is used as a filler to increase the volume of plastic products, reducing the amount of polymer required. This leads to significant cost savings.
2) Improved Stiffness: Adding calcium carbonate increases the stiffness and rigidity of plastic products, making them more durable and resistant to deformation.
3) Dimensional Stability: Calcium carbonate helps improve the dimensional stability of plastic products, reducing shrinkage and warping.
4) Improved Processing: Calcium carbonate can enhance the processing characteristics of plastics, such as better extrusion, molding, and thermoforming. It can reduce cycle times and improve productivity.
5) Smooth Surface: Calcium carbonate contributes to a smoother surface finish of plastic products, enhancing their appearance and tactile properties.
Impact Of Calcium Carbonate In Plastic Industries.
If you think all plastic products come from primary plastics, you'are wrong. Today, to save it as well as ti reduce white pollution, people look for alternative solutions. Calcium Carbonate is one of them. To avoid the impact of coal or oil prices on production of plastics, manufacturers use CaCO3. They mix this powder,addictives and primary plastic when making filler masterbatch or compound. The purpose of this action is to make final products replace for using 100% primary plastics.
Calcium carbonate is a cost-effective filler material, which helps in reducing the overall production costs of plastic products by replacing more expensive polymer resins.It enhances the rigidity, hardness, and strength of plastic products, making them more durable and resistant to physical stresses.
The addition of calcium carbonate improves the dimensional stability of plastic products, preventing deformation and shrinkage.
