Production of coated calcium carbonate with hydrophobic properties and high gloss

Code: 11584. We are dedicated to the production of coated calcium carbonate, a material that is widely used in the plastics, coatings and technical films sectors.

Thanks to targeted surface treatments, our products acquire unique characteristics such as low surface energy and a marked hydrophobic effect, which improve their compatibility with polymers and resins.

This allows for homogeneous dispersions, reduced absorption of oil and plasticizers, and easier processing during the transformation phase.

Coated calcium carbonate helps increase the mechanical and chemical properties of the final materials, making them stronger and more durable, as well as providing a high-quality surface with superior brightness.

In particular, in solvent-based paints, hydrophobic treatments preserve gloss and prevent unwanted reactions with oily acids, avoiding the formation of defects or opacities during storage.
