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.

SACHTLEBEN MICRO distributed by DKSH is a synthetic barium sulfate. It is acid, weather and alkali resistant. It is inert with extremely narrow particle size range and low specific surface area.

• Exhibits lightness, low abrasive action and an extremely high light reflectance in broad ranges of the spectrum.
• Offers pure whiteness while preserving the original brilliance and hues of colored pigments used.
• It is notable for its extremely low binder requirement and excellent dispersibility.
• Its deflocculating properties makes it possible in combination with titanium dioxide, colored pigments and carbon blacks.
• It can be used to achieve high gloss coatings which are flocculation resistant.
• Recommended for elastomers & sealing compounds, thermosets, thermoplastic, paper and other applications.
• SACHTLEBEN MICRO is FDA approved.
• It is available in Canada.

Bianco Fisso M 0.8 W distributed by DKSH is a general functional filler. It is a high-quality, industrial-grade white pigment designed to enhance the color and brightness of products. It exhibits high purity and controlled particle size.
