CALCIUM CARBONATE IS AN EXTREMELY VERSATILE MINERAL PRESENT IN MANY EVERYDAY ITEMS, FROM ADHESIVES AND SEALANTS THROUGH TO ANIMAL FEED AND LANDSCAPING.
Calcium Carbonate Usage in PLASTICS AND RUBBER
PLASTICS AND RUBBER
At Egypt Mineral Ores [E.M.O.], we supplies ground calcium carbonate powders suitable for the production of numerous plastics and rubbers. Major polymer-

Ground calcium carbonate quarry is an important limestone filler for strengthening the latex backing of rugs and carpets. This strengthened backing holds the fibres in place and provides a higher degree of resiliency and stiffness.
PVC Compounds and Plastisols
PVC is a very versatile polymer and is used in a wide range of applications from cables, flooring and window profiles to packaging, wall coverings and drainage systems. Limestone fillers such as ground calcium carbonate powders can be added to plasticised PVC and plastisols for improved strength and durability.
Rubber
Rubber can also benefit greatly from added ground calcium carbonate powders. Our limestone fillers are the perfect addition to rubber when used for hoses, tyres and extruded profiles through to other general rubber moulded components.
