The Role of Calcium Carbonate in Adhesives & Sealants
The company’s major markets are forest products (fiber based products
such as paper, board and tissue), polymers, building materials (paints, coa-
tings, sealants, adhesives and construction) as well as life sciences (food,
feed, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, environment and agriculture).
Reduces Resistant
Our calcium carbonates can reduce the content, and Our calcium carbonates increase the resistance and du-
thus dependency of polymer based binder products in rability of coating films, as well as adhesive & sealant
formulations. This reduces the carbon footprint (green- joints, and thus the life cycle of the final products and
house gas emissions) of the overall package. goods.
Replaces Workability
Our calcium carbonates help to replace mineral fillers & Our calcium carbonates improve the workability of coa-
pigments with high oil absorption, and carbon footprint tings, adhesives, sealants, inks, plasters and renders,
(greenhouse gas emissions) and therefore reduce poly- leading to increased working life of application tools
mer based binders. and less energy consumption.
