Materials and Processes
Natural calcium carbonate (crystalline and microcrystalline)
High-whiteness base filler as the mineralogical-chemical core basis of the portfolio, partly surface-modified.
Recycled calcium carbonate (ECOCARB® KA, CALCILIT® ECO G)
Product line consisting of 100% recycled pre-consumer material for resource conservation.
Marble powder
Marble powder as starting material for mineral fillers across the entire industrial spectrum.
Talc (natural layered silicates)
Natural layered silicate as filler base for technical applications.
Aluminium hydroxide (ATH)
Synthetically produced filler with flame-retardant effect.
Precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC)
Synthetic carbonate as a complementary filler base.
Titanium dioxide
White pigment for optimizing opacity and brightness.
Surface modification of fillers
Improves adhesion and rheological properties of the fillers in the medium to be dispersed.
