Our Products & Solutions
Calcium Carbonate for Paints and Coating
Calcium Carbonate for paint sector is the main filler, it ensures better lustering, low oil absorptions, easy spreading, lasts longer, and resists to the worst weather conditions in paint sector. Fineness and particle-dimension distribution affects covering characteristic of coatings. Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) gives paints characteristics like high gloss, low oil absorbance, easy spreading, resistance to weather conditions, low wearing, low electrolyte content, pH balancing effect, improved anti corrosion and rheological characteristics. Paints are divided into two categories
Calcium Carbonate for Paper & Printing
Calcium Carbonate is used in paper mill as a filler material in the alkaline papermaking process. Nowadays Calcium Carbonate is dominant over other papermaking filler materials. The main reason behind the preference of Calcium Carbonate is the demand for brighter and bulkier paper. There are significant benefits to the use of Calcium Carbonate in the alkaline papermaking process. Usually Calcium Carbonate occurs in three natural forms such as Limestone, Chalk and Marble. Naturally it is formed between the reactions of Calcium salt and Carbon dioxide. This process is still going on in the oceans.
Calcium for Pipes & PVC products
ACMA Calcium Carbonate improves the base properties of polyvinyl Chloride by adding stiffness to the polymer matrix and improving impact resistance as particle sizes become smaller. ACMA Calcium Carbonate also improves compounding performance by helping disperse various ingredients into the PVC powder blend and improves processing by making polymer flow more homogenous. The relationship between Calcium Carbonates particle size and the impact strength of the finished rigid PVC part also applies to extruded pipe and injection-molded fittings
Calcium Carbonate for Cables
Cables are manufactured from solid materials or stranded copper core. Previously fire resistant cable shell are made from PVC plastic, it is flammable, while fire, it creates smoke and waste large amounts of toxic gases, endanger human life. Using Calcium Carbonate is a GREAT SOLUTION for this problem! - Calcium Carbonate is non toxic, odorless and tasteless, it does not affect the environment. - The thermal decomposition temperature of Calcium Carbonate is above 800 , and general plastics are flammable, and its ignition temperature is about 400 , so the initial combustion stage
Calcium Carbonate for Film
ACMA Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) is one of the most widely used mineral fillers in the plastics industry, and its use in rigid packaging has increased significantly over the years. Once thought of simply as a resin extender, the addition of Calcium Carbonate in plastics has been shown to contribute to increased performance, improved processing, and improved sustainability of the finished part. Check out five great reasons why you should consider using ACMA Calcium Carbonate filled Polypropylene sheet for your next project
Calcium Carbonate for Non-Woven fabrics
ACMA Calcium Carbonate provides application-specific performance enhancement, such as increased softness, opacity, strength, and filtration efficiency to Nonwovens & Fiber. ACMA product is the latest development in nonwoven and mineral technology and has been specifically engineered to substantially reduce the amount of resin used in nonwoven production. Here are some ACMA Calcium Carbonate application Specific Benefits, Nonwoven manufacturers experience
Calcium Carbonate for Adhesives
A number of functional fillers are available for various applications, including Calcium Carbonate and others. Calcium Carbonate is available in particle sizes ranging from less than 1.0 Micrometer to large white decorative chips. Calcium Carbonate is a relatively soft, insoluble mineral that is widely used to reduce cost and to control shrinkage in adhesive formulations. ACMA Calcium Carbonate is available in the widest variety of particle-size distributions of any mineral, and an optimum form for an adhesive and sealant application can easily be found
Calcium Carbonate for Rubber
Ground Calcium Carbonate is used in a wide variety of rubber applications as both an extender and deticktifiing agent. In other words, Calcium Carbonate rubber applications can add stiffness or provide abrasion resistance our Calcium Carbonate is used in rubber industry application like:- Shoes & Slipper sole, Tyre tube straps, Floor Tiles, Mat, Conveyor, Belts Hoses tubes R.P. granules etc
Calcium Carbonate for Glass & Calcium
ACMA is ideal for the glass industry as it has a high purity with very low levels of undesirables and contaminants that would be detrimental to the glass making process. It has a very low Iron content with high Calcium content and with the added advantage of consistent Magnesium content typically. The Limestone that is produced can have both economic and environmental benefits to the glass producer. We currently produce high quality Limestone for the manufacture of container glassware. Glass industry required high limestone. Iron and other colouring matter like carbon are regarded as objectionable
Calcium Minerals for Oil & Gas Drilling
ACMA Calcium Carbonate is used as a Bridging and a weighing agent used in drilling. It is used to increase mud density and is preferred to Barite as it is acid Soluble. It is grinded in three sizes Coarse, Medium andFine It is essentially a Bridging and a weighing agent for controlling Fluid loss and Density. It can be used in both oil based and water based Fluid Systems. ACMA product is used essentially as a weighing agent whereas used for bridging and seepage control
