Plastic Fillers

Plastic Fillers

Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is one of the most popular mineral fillers used in the plastics industry. It is widely available around the world, easy to grind or reduce to a specific particle size, compatible with a wide range of polymer resins and economical. As an additive in plastic compounds, CaCO3 helps decrease surface energy and provides opacity and surface gloss, which improves surface finish. In addition, when the particle size is carefully controlled, CaCO3 helps increase both impact strength and flexural modulus (stiffness).

Choosing the right filler is a great challenge for Plastic manufacturers these days, as number of products are available but very rare find appropriate product for specific industry. The Team Alwan Al Farasha took this challenge and started gathering problems of industries when using fillers, and by keeping in view the issues team AAF developed different grades of fillers for specific industry type. By the grace of God, in a short span of time the brands became popular for the advantages. AAF team selected the best materials in order to produce good consistent quality products.

  • Specially developed for Specific Industry type like Raffia, and film, injection grades, material and melt flow matches with end application.
  • No Dust, or powder feeling on the surface of product such as on film or extrusion sheet.
  • No moisture which ensure smooth film on extrusion, without any water marks.
  • Does not carry water which effect cutting blades
  • Prime quality Calcium is used which give good dispersion and does not give rusty feel on the surface of sheet.
  • Does not affect screw of extrusion as compare to the substandard calcium.
  • A special additive is used which reduces the carbon formation significantly and increases the filter life and production
