As a mentioned above, Calcium Carbonate filler is the combination of CaCO3 powder and appropriate additives. Each type will have a distinct characteristic, and these properties will contribute to a significant part in forming the final nature of the finished plastic product. In this article, we will divide the base plastic into 4 main groups that are thermoplastic, solid, hard form and elastic.

Thermoplastic Calcium Carbonate filler in plastic industry
Before being extruded or blown molds, thermoplastic plastic will be heated for softening and dense when it is cooled. This process will be repeated many times to shape the final product according to the needs of every industry. Thermoplastic plastic is made from PE, PP,... . It also help industry of calcium carbonate filler increase productivity of production as well as reduce production costs.

Thermoset Calcium Carbonate filler is only heated only once
This plastic is heated once in certain plasticizing conditions and it not only bring a high quality but also the efficiency of the productivity increases dramatically. For example, the epoxy plastic, which is used as a primer because it adhere to other materials very well. In addition, especially in the field of electronics, this calcium carbonate filler has the very good insulation ability as well as the peeling of this plastic are impossible.

Calcium Carbonate filler having hard base plastic is very good durability
For this plastic, the internal molecules are connected to each other and have a very tight network. When you compared to others plastic and this hard plastic, it may be still not changing their physical properties whether heated with a certain temperature. In addition, calcium carbonate filler with hard base plastic can not heat for reusing with different purposes.

Calcium Carbonate filler having elastic base plastic with near - identical properties of rubber
This elastic plastic can withstand the impact from the external force and it can return to its original shape when no external force. As stated above, the stretchy nature of masterbatch elasticity is very similar to latex so a lot of people have confused about these two types. To distinguish these two types, heat this elastic plastic up, you will find it had a slightly deformation and it will be decomposed automatically when experiencing extremely temperature.
