Breathable Films

To the product variants...

Many new polymer-based plastics for applications in various types of films, adhesives, and sealants have been developed that react significantly faster than before.

Conventional calcium carbonates, due to their moisture content of > 0.2%, lead to side reactions with the polymer or with additives, which reduces the durability of such products.

To offer a real alternative for such applications, the product series CALCIPLAST® was developed for breathable films, which features a minimized moisture content of only 0.1*%. The resulting high flowability leads to faster processing and cost savings. ( *measured during production )

Due to its thermal stability up to over 270 °C, this product series is particularly suitable for PE and PP films as well as breathable films, and is also characterized by a high degree of whiteness and good printability, in addition to a small particle size.
