CalciTech announces the launch of a new product, CalciRC100S™, for use as a high performance filler in plastics. This new product brings additional benefits over conventional calcium carbonates. For example in PVC profiles, trials with major producers have shown the following benefits:
- Improved profile whiteness and thermal stability due to CalciRC100S™'s high purity
- Higher gloss and toughness due to CalciRC100S™'s narrow particle size distribution
- Lower costs due to higher loading factor, lower density and less thermal energy required in extrusion
- Consistent high quality due to CalciTech's unique process which is independent of the raw material
In addition to these benefits, CalciRC100S™ offers a new way for plastic producers to improve the sustainability of their products.
- CalciTech's novel process utilises waste lime and effluent carbon dioxide to manufacture its Synthetic Calcium Carbonate (SCC). This means that SCC production captures CO2 and does not rely on unsustainable freshly mined materials.
- Since CalciRC100S™ can be used with higher loading levels, less polymer resin is used.
About CalciTech
CalciTech has developed a revolutionary and patented process for the production of the valuable industrial mineral synthetic calcium carbonate (SCC), a form of precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC). The new process can utilise a variety of raw material and was developed specifically to tackle the environmental problems caused by the large quantities of lime waste in the world. Additionally, there are certain environmental problems arising form traditional PCC production that the CalciTech process does not suffer from.
Not only does the CalciTech process offer a solution to a large environmental problem, it also enables CalciTech to produce tailor made SCC for many applications on a very competitive cost base and of a very high quality, not achieved elsewhere in the industry.
