Features & Benefits
Features
- The product range for these applications has a very high purity and affinity particle size distribution, making it suitable for use in plastics and rubbers, as these are a key factor in the quality of the final product.
- The limestone-based product with its high fineness and purity is perfectly suited to applications like densification.
- Stabilization in solid state: the high reactivity of the lime-based product results in a very quick and adequate neutralization of the acid caused by UV degradation of plastics.
- Safety: the use of lime-based products as stabilizers in plastics has replaced stabilizers banned due to health risks.
Benefits
- Thanks to high purity and certifications (HACCP, FCA, EN 12518, etc.) these products can meet the requirements for use in the most demanding markets (food and even pharmaceutical industries).
- No unwanted elements are released during neutralization.
- Our products have an economic advantage over alternative chemicals used to neutralize the capacity in plastics and rubbers.
- Industrial production facilities across Europe and exported on a large scale around the world.
Dedicated solutions for your specific needs
Limestone-based products have been used for decades in the final production of PVC because they are stable and reliable filler agent that has some additional advantages, such as densifying the final product, making it less fragile.
For the stabilization there was a huge switch towards lime-based agent together with metal soaps to improve the UV resistance and handling properties of some plastics. This switch was reinforced by the banning of harmful element like lead.
As application and process parameters vary, Carmeuse's product range and technical support team make it possible to achieve the selection of the optimum reagent to meet your requirements with the lowest economic impact.
