Excellent final products whilst optimizing costs

We offer a range of tailor-made products that balance total material cost optimization and final product properties.  We can achieve high mineral loadings in plastisols while improving process performance.

 

These solutions are used in various automotive components, such as tarpaulins, artificial leather, cables, edge guards, trim strips and underbody sealing.

Improve pigmentation in plastisols

Not only will your final products have better physical qualities, such as increased stiffness and better dry grip, but our calcium carbonate compounds also offer enhanced dispersion of pigments, improving color intensity in the final product.

Move towards a circular economy

Omya's solutions save energy and reduce material costs. By enhancing formulation properties, they increase productivity and reduce energy consumption during production. This leads to significant cost savings and efficiency gains for manufacturers.

 

This favorable balance between properties and processability is achieved while also contributing to the circular economy. Omya products enable higher loadings of recycled content and reduce reliance on non-renewable resources.

Benefits of Omya solutions for plastisols

  • Better surface of final product: improved tactile properties, i.e. dry grip
  • Increased stiffness, hardness and haptics 
  • Enhanced dispersion of pigments through the addition of fine-tuned calcium carbonate grades
  • Superior rheology during processing
  • Selection of ultrafine-coated grades ideally suited for sprayable pastes in automotive sealing 
  • Improved ageing resistance 
  • Range of ultrabright shades for color intensity 
  • High loadings that increase customers’ profitability with substantial formulation cost reduction
