Product Overview

Calcium filler masterbatch consists of high-purity, surface-treated micronized calcium carbonate (\(CaCO_3\)) compounded with virgin polyolefin carriers (PP or PE) and processing aids in twin-screw extruders.

The surface coating of the mineral particles ensures homogeneous organophilic dispersion in host polymers without phase separation or screen clogging. Adding filler masterbatch improves product rigidity, accelerates cooling rates for shorter cycle times, and reduces production costs.

Typical Industrial Applications

  • PP Woven Sacks & FIBC: Modifies tape tenacity, prevents fibrillating slippage, and stabilizes weaving in circular looms. (Learn more)
  • PE Blown Films: Improves bubble stability, barrier stiffness, and surface printability on packaging films.
  • Blow Molding: Enhances wall thickness uniformity and stackability in bottles, jerry cans, and drums.
  • Injection Molded Articles: Shortens cycle times by increasing thermal conductivity in household articles and crates.
  • Thermoforming Sheets: Reduces heat sag and shrinkage in vacuum-formed plastic containers and trays.

Packaging & Handling

Supplied in 25 kg moisture-barrier laminated bags to prevent ambient moisture uptake during storage. Dispatched in truckload quantities with palletized shrink-wrapping options for clean warehouse racking.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between PP and PE carrier grades? expand_more
PP carrier filler masterbatch is matched for polypropylene applications such as woven sacks and raffia tape. PE carrier filler masterbatch is tailored for low and high-density polyethylene film blowing and blow molding.
How does filler masterbatch affect processing machine torque? expand_more
Because the mineral core is surface-treated with fatty acid lubricants, the granules melt and disperse smoothly, maintaining steady extruder screw torque and melt pressure.
What is the shelf life and storage recommendation? expand_more
When stored in original unopened bags in a clean, covered warehouse away from sunlight and moisture, masterbatch pellets retain optimal performance for up to 12 months.
Can trial sample bags be provided for extruder testing? expand_more
Yes, we provide 25 kg trial sample bags for running compatibility and dispersion trials on your extrusion lines before placing commercial orders.
