Applications of Calcium Carbonate CaCO3 in the Industry: Rubber, Plastic, Paint, and More…
Rubber Industry
Calcium carbonate is used in the rubber industry, the largest one of the earliest large filler, calcium carbonate among a large number filled in the rubber, can increase the volume of products, thus saving expensive natural rubber to achieve lower costs, calcium carbonate filled rubber can be obtained higher than that of pure rubber sulfide tensile strength abrasion resistance, tear strength, and has a significant role in reinforcing the natural rubber and synthetic rubber, and can adjust the consistency.
Plastic Industry
Calcium carbonate in plastics can play a role in skeleton, the stability of plastics size plays a significant role, can improve product hardness, can also improve the surface gloss and surface smoothness of the article. Calcium carbonate heat-resistant plastics in general can be improved, since the calcium carbonate whiteness above 90%, can also replace expensive white pigment play a whitening effect.
Paint Industry
A large amount of calcium carbonate in the paint industry, is indispensable framework, the amountin the thick paint for more than 30%, more than 4-7% in phenolic phenolic enamel fine wrinkle pattern paint 39%.
The water-based paint industry
In the waterbased paint industry applications, more extensive use, can paint without sedimentation, easy dispersion, good gloss characteristics, in an amount of 20-60% water-based paint.
Other
In addition, calcium carbonate in the paper industry plays an important role to ensure that paper strength, whiteness and low cost. In the cable industry can play a role in insulation.
