Micronized Calcium Carbonate

Main applications

Powder Coatings, Industrial Paints, Decorative Paints, Plastics & Polymers

Overview

Micronized calcium carbonate is one of the most widely used mineral fillers in paints, coatings and plastics. Its behavior in a formulation depends mainly on particle size and distribution.

Finer grades can contribute to gloss, opacity and mechanical properties. Coarser grades are used as economical extenders.

Main characteristics

  • Widely used in paints, coatings and plastics
  • Good brightness
  • Low abrasiveness
  • Can be produced across a wide range of particle sizes
  • Economical extender
