- Coated calcium carbonate powder is a specially treated form of ground calcium carbonate (GCC) where each particle is coated with a surface modifier, typically stearic acid.
- This coating improves the compatibility of calcium carbonate with non-polar polymers and enhances dispersion within plastic and rubber matrices.
- Coated Calcium Carbonate is produced by surface coating the regular calcium carbonate slurry with stearic acid.
-
Improved Dispersion: Surface coating reduces agglomeration, ensuring even distribution in polymers.
-
Enhanced Hydrophobicity: The coating minimizes moisture absorption, making it ideal for moisture-sensitive applications.
-
Better Compatibility: Offers superior interaction with polyolefins like PE, PP, and PVC.
-
Increased Process Efficiency: It reduces energy consumption during extrusion or injection molding thanks to its smoother flow properties.
- Boosts Final Product Performance: It enhances mechanical properties, surface finish, and dimensional stability in end-use products, leading to better overall quality.
- Moreover, it offers good opacity and brightness, which are essential in visual and functional applications.
- It also provides increased thermal stability, making it suitable for high-temperature processing.
- As a result, it remains a cost-effective choice for manufacturers seeking performance and value.
- Improved Flowability: It aids in processing methods such as extrusion and injection molding, allowing for smoother operations.
- In addition, it is widely used as a filler in polypropylene to achieve a good balance of rigidity and impact strength.
