Q&A

Filler masterbatch is a combination between traditional resins (PP, PE, HIPS,...), CaCO3, and appropriate additives in the masterbatch form. Hence, it is not resin. However, it can be used to partly replace resin, which resutls in cost - effectiveness for manufacturers. 

Filler masterbatch works by replacing a part of virgin resin, which results in production cost reduction, thus improving end-products competitiveness. 

Also, with an appropriate amount, filler masterbatch significantly lifts end-products performance (stiffness, impact strength, printability,...), saves energy and accelerates the production cycle thanks to CaCO3 good thermal ability

With an appropriate usage rate, filler masterbatch hardly has any bad effects on end-products mechanical properties or quality. Hence, you may not concern about this problem. 

Filler masterbatch is widely used in several fields:

• Blown films (shopping bags, roll bags, garbage bags,...)
• Raffia: cereals bags, FIBCs, industrial bags, jumbo bags,...
• Non woven
• Extrusion, injection molding
• Thermoformed sheet (cups, plates, trays, pots, construction sheets, household appliances, car interiors,...)

According to each end-products' characteristics, EuP will advise the most appropriate usage rate of filler masterbatch. Normally, it comes between 10% and 40%.
