Manufactured for Float Glass Production
Calcium carbonate, sourced from limestone, presents benefits as an industrial filler across CASE (Coatings, Adhesives, Sealants and Elastomers), plastic and glass applications. As a calcium extender, it reinforces structural integrity to improve durability and provide cost-effective solutions for manufacturers. Its controlled particle size distribution imparts precise control over rheological properties, aiding in viscosity and flow control in coatings and plastics. Moreover, its compatibility with various polymers and binders ensures seamless integration, boosting mechanical properties and reducing material costs. In glass applications, calcium carbonate enhances optical properties. This versatile extender significantly elevates the quality and efficiency of industrial processes.
