Coatings & Adhesives Calcium Carbonate Fillers & Extenders
In paints and coatings, calcium carbonate has proven itself as the main extender.
The distribution of particle size, and the fineness of the particles, effects the opacity of coatings. In addition, calcium carbonate lends fascinating features as far as its high brightness, low absorption of oil, resistance to the weather, low abrasiveness, low electrolyte levels, dispersability, its ability to stabilise pH and enhanced rheological and anti-corrosion properties.
We always strive to satisfy our clients, and with the aim of sourcing the best available solution we work closely with our clients to ascertain the required property profile to create the most appropriate product.
