What it does

Calcium carbonate masterbatch — high-loading filler concentrate on a PE carrier resin. Reduces resin consumption per kilogram of finished film or moulding without compromising mechanical performance at standard let-down ratios.

Typical applications

  • Blown film (HDPE / LDPE shopping bags, liner film)
  • Injection moulding (housewares, crates)
  • Profile extrusion (pipe, sheet)
  • Raffia and woven sacks
