Ultra-fine Particle Size

Light Calcium Carbonate YX-501 features an ultra-fine particle size. With an average particle size often in the range of a few micrometers, it can provide a large specific surface area. This fine particle size enables better dispersion in paper and plastic matrices, improving the overall performance of the final products.

High Purity
It has a high calcium carbonate content, typically with impurities such as iron, magnesium, and other trace elements being present in very low amounts. The high purity ensures that it does not introduce unwanted chemical reactions or negatively affect the properties of paper and plastics.

Good Whiteness
The product exhibits excellent whiteness, usually with a whiteness value exceeding 90. This high whiteness can significantly enhance the appearance quality of paper and plastic products, making them more visually appealing.

Surface Activity
Light Calcium Carbonate YX-501 undergoes surface treatment, which gives its particles certain surface activity. This surface activity allows for better interaction with the polymers in plastics and the fibers in paper, improving the adhesion and compatibility within the materials.

Functions in Paper

Filling and Reinforcement

In the paper-making process, it can act as a filler to fill the gaps between paper fibers. This not only improves the smoothness and opacity of the paper but also enhances its mechanical properties such as tensile strength and stiffness.

Improving Printability
The fine particle size and good dispersion of Light Calcium Carbonate YX-501 contribute to better ink absorption and distribution during printing. It helps to ensure that the printed text and images are clear and sharp, improving the printability of the paper.

Cost Reduction
As a filler, it can partially replace more expensive raw materials in paper production, reducing the overall production cost while maintaining or even improving the quality of the paper.

Functions in Plastics

Enhancing Mechanical Properties

In plastics, Light Calcium Carbonate YX-501 can enhance the mechanical properties of the plastic matrix. It increases the hardness, tensile strength, and impact resistance of plastics, making them more durable and suitable for various applications.

Improving Processability
Its surface activity and fine particle size contribute to better fluidity and moldability of plastics during processing. This can reduce the viscosity of the plastic melt, making it easier to process and shape, and improving production efficiency.

Color Adjustment
The high whiteness of the calcium carbonate can be used to adjust the color of plastics. It can brighten the color of plastics, especially in white or light-colored plastic products, and can also be used to balance the color of other pigments in the plastic formulation.

Advantages of Light Calcium Carbonate YX-501
