Omyaloop MIX by Omya is a new generation calcium carbonate tailor-made and designed for the use in recycled polyolefin blends to boost its performance. It improves recycling process consistency and mechanical performance of mixed recycled polymers. Moreover, Omyaloop MIX provides higher flexibility on the feedstock variations.

Omyaloop 2T FC-AV by Omya is made of 100% pre-consumer recycled natural calcium carbonate that would have otherwise been disposed of as waste.

• It is surface-treated and therefore has a low moisture content.
• It increases the proportion of recycled content and developed for use in the plastics and rubber industry.
• It reduces formulation costs, improves heat transfer, increases stiffness and offers low carbon footprint.
• The recycled status of Omyaloop 2T FC-AV does not affect suitability for use in contact-sensitive applications (like Food Contact/Food packaging).

Omyaspace 806 by Omya is a natural, ultra-fine calcium carbonate with surface modification and belongs to the Omyaspace product family for improving the opacity of white plastics. It delivers excellent results especially in white ABS and SAN.

• It is more compatible with white ABS and SAN than other calcium carbonate and maintains opacity at reduced pigment concentration.
• It improves in ABS elongation, impact strength and maintains shrinkage and dimensional stability.
• It reduces cycle time lowering overall production costs.
• Omyaspace 806 reduces carbon footprint of plastic products improving sustainability.
