The objective of this work is the preparation and the characterization of high density polyethylene /calcium carbonate (HDPE/CaCO3) composites. Polyethylene composites, containing 10-35 wt. % of CaCO3 and HDPE with MFI (Melt Flow index) (0.550 g/10mn) were prepared with co-extrusion process using extruder type Cincinati 90D. Thermal and…

The effects of filler content, filler particle size and surface coating, as well as the natures of the wax and metal stearate lubricants on the properties of calcium carbonate-filled linear low-density polyethylene compounds were investigated. The elongation at break decreased exponentially with filler loading irrespective of whether the…

CaCo3 – Calcium Carbonate is added in the PVC blend to improve the mechanical properties such as tensile strength, elongation, and impact strength of the profile. What is uPVC ? Unplasticised Polyvinyl Chloride (uPVC) uPVC a low-maintenance building material used as a substitute for Steel, Aluminium or Wood…

Vietnam exports of Carbonates; calcium carbonate was $1,736.67K and quantity 5,151,360Kg. Vietnam exported Carbonates; calcium carbonate to Bangladesh ($428.64K , 1,271,450 Kg), India ($374.46K , 1,110,730 Kg), Myanmar ($154.37K , 457,902 Kg), Singapore ($123.32K , 365,791 Kg), Cambodia ($102.08K , 302,789 Kg). Carbonates; calcium carbonate imports by country…

Calcium carbonate in Vietnam is the predominant filler used in polyvinyl chloride compounding. Selection of fillers, as in the case with other compounding ingredients, involves consideration of available types and their effects on processing, product properties, and economics. In this article the effect of the particle size of…
