Molding

Experience the transformative power of our innovative calcium carbonate solutions in molding applications.

Preparation for installation of body part in car factory

Outstanding properties with optimized costs

Omya offers a broad range of calcium carbonate products, including our Omyalene and Omyalene MAX product family of highly filled masterbatches, providing an excellent balance of total material cost optimization and final application properties.

Omya calcium carbonates allow high mineral loadings without process impairment. As a result, they are widely used in automotive components. This leads to process optimization in molded products, whether injection-molding, blow molding, sheet-extrusion or thermoforming.

A range of options for engineered materials

Omya Smartfill and Omyaspace provide numerous advantages in the engineered materials industry. Omya Smartfill partially replaces polyamide resin and glass fiber in polyamide glass fiber compound while maintaining ductility.

Unlike other minerals and pigments, Omya Smartfill does not hydrolyze polycarbonate in white polycarbonate compounds, therefore improving opacity at a lower cost and with better overall mechanical properties.

Reduced costs and improved environmental impact

While calcium carbonate typically affects ABS impact property and elongation, Omyaspace produces far better results, helping the industry's requirement to cut costs and lowering the environmental impact through shorter cycle times.
