Calcium Carbonate Masterbatch: Uses in PE and PP
Calcium Carbonate Masterbatch in PE and PP Applications Calcium carbonate masterbatch is a mineral-filled additive used in polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) to adjust stiffness, opacity, surface characteristics, and material cost. It contains calcium carbonate (CaCO3) dispersed in a polymer carrier, allowing manufacturers to incorporate the mineral filler more conveniently than feeding loose powder directly. […]
Functional Fillers in Polymer Compounds
Functional Fillers in Polymer Compounds: More Than Cost Reduction Functional Fillers are incorporated into polymer compounds to modify properties such as stiffness, dimensional stability, thermal behavior, surface finish, and processing performance. Although fillers can reduce the amount of more expensive base resin in a formulation, their technical value depends on filler chemistry, particle shape, surface […]
