Plastics & Rubber
PolyCal® calcium offerings are tailored for the needs of the plastics and elastomers industries, where tight sizing and reactivity control are essential. Along with our other high-purity lime offerings, they act as high-performing desiccants and functional fillers in the production of polymers, as well as controlling moisture in plastic recycling.
PolyCal® O calcium oxide provides exceptional moisture control properties in polymer production, contributing to desirable characteristics in the end product. PolyCal® H calcium hydroxide also acts as a rubber accelerant.
CalCarb® calcium carbonate offerings provide a broad spectrum of sizing and physical attributes required of functional filler in both plastic and elastomers applications.
VitaCal® FCC food-grade lime offerings are covered by FSSC 22000 certification for food contact applications.
