Calofort® U

Precipitated calcium carbonate. Acts as a filler. Is a white microcrystalline powder characterized by high surface area, controlled particle shape and high whiteness. Consists of agglomerated ultrafine calcitic crystals with an average primary particle size of 0.07μm. The high surface area and rheological structure-building ability of CALOFORT® U pcc makes it a versatile functional filler in many different applications. Its hydrophilic nature makes it particularly suitable for use in water-based systems though it is also compatible with many polymer and solvent-based systems. Suitable for use in gravure inks where its low abrasion is an added benefit compared to other fillers.
