G-316 Activated Calcium carbonate
For high transparent film products
What role does activated calcium carbonate play in transparent films?
Active calcium carbonate plays several key roles in transparent film products. Firstly, it enhances whiteness and transparency, making the final product visually appealing. As an effective filler, it increases volume while reducing production costs, and improves mechanical properties and flexibility.
Additionally, active calcium carbonate improves processing performance by enhancing resin flow and reducing melt viscosity. It can also enhance optical characteristics through increased light scattering and may impart special functions, such as antistatic properties or improved barrier performance, depending on the formulation.
Benefits of G-316
- Whiteness and Transparency:
- Filler
- Improvement of Processing Performance
- Enhanced Light Scattering
- Increased Abrasion Resistance
- Improvement of Barrier Properties
- Cost Reduction
- Improvement of Thermal Stability
G-316 Three advantages of activated calcium carbonate: whitening and transparency, improved processing performance, enhanced light scattering
•Activated calcium carbonate significantly enhances the whiteness and gloss of transparent films, making them visually brighter and more attractive. Optimized formulations enhance transparency and light scattering properties, helping products stand out in the marketplace and enhance brand image.
•Activated calcium carbonate significantly improves the processing of transparent films by reducing the melt viscosity of the resin and enhancing flow. This property not only improves productivity, but also ensures uniformity in film molding, contributing to the manufacture of high-quality transparent film products.
•Activated calcium carbonate enhances light scattering and optimizes optical properties in transparent films. Its excellent scattering ability gives the film a softer sheen when exposed to light, enhancing the visual appeal of the product for high-end packaging and optical applications.

What is activated calcium carbonate?
Activated Calcium Carbonate (ACC) is made by surface coating a precipitated calcium carbonate slurry with a fatty acid (stearic acid) and titanate coupling agent, then filtering and drying the coated PCC slurry to produce an ACC powder.
What is the difference between ground calcium carbonate and precipitated calcium carbonate?
The difference in product capacity is the most obvious difference between GCC and PCC. Ground calcium carbonate products have a larger capacity, generally 0.8-1.3g/cm³; precipitated calcium carbonate products have a smaller capacity, generally 0.5-0.7g/cm³.
What is the purpose of grinding calcium carbonate?
Ground calcium carbonate is used in paper and plastic fillers, paints and coatings. It is also used in cement, converted to quicklime (calcium oxide) and slaked lime (calcium hydroxide). Ground calcium carbonate is weakly alkaline and can be used to neutralize combustion vapors or to increase the pH of water or soil.
