BENEFITS OF IMERYS CALCIUM CARBONATE IN COMMON APPLICATIONS

APPLICATIONS GUIDENew Product SpotlightInfusion® Plus

SOCAL® andWINNOFIL®

Infusion® Plus is an ultra-fine, surface treated ground calcium carbonate (GCC) engineered to maintain blend uniformity for PVC systems. It provides ease of dispersion, increased loading and improved processability by dissipating electrostatic charge.

Imerys is proud to expand our Carbonates family of Plastic & Films solutions with SOCAL® and WINNOFIL®, precipitated calcium carbonates (PCC). Imerys PCC’s are functional additives used in several PVC applications which offer improved impact strength, better gelation, lower plate out, excellent surface gloss and good nucleation in foams, at a better cost than standard processing aids.

Contact your Imerys representative for more information on how Infusion® Plus, SOCAL® and WINNOFIL® can improve your product performance and processability today!
