Calcium Carbonate
Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) is one of the most popular mineral fillers used in the plastic industry. It is widely available around the world, easy to grind or reduce to a specific particle size, compatible with a wide range of polymer resins and economical.
As an additive in plastic compounds, CaCO3 helps decrease surface energy and provides opacity and surface gloss, which improves surface finish. In addition, when the particle size is carefully controlled, CaCO3 helps increase both impact strength and flexural modulus (stiffness).
Calcium carbonate may be used with a myriad of thermoplastic resins. Polypropylene compounds are often filled with calcium carbonate to increase rigidity, an important requirement for operations at high temperatures. In PVC, calcium carbonate is used with flexible compounds such as tubing, wire and cable insulation, latex gloves, trash bags and in rigid compounds such as extruded pipes, conduits and window
(Raw Salt) Sodium Chloride
Sodium chloride salt is produced directly from raw seawater through a state-of-the-art technology called Electro Dialysis, which is a membrane process. The material is then subjected to further evaporation/crystallization processes.
Uses of Sodium Chloride It are widely used in food industries as a food preservative and as a flavour enhancer. It is a major raw material in the industrial manufacturing of various chemicals such as sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide etc.
The chemical industry is the largest salt consumer of salt using about 60% of the total production. This industry converts the salt mainly into chlorine, caustic soda and soda ash. Without these basic inorganic chemicals, the chemical industry, glass production, etc. would be unthinkable. The second largest user of salt is mankind itself. Humans need about 20% of the total salt produced to support their physiological functions and eating habits.
