CaCO3 Filler Masterbatch for Blown Film — 80% CaCO3, 1250 Mesh

A calcium carbonate concentrate in LDPE or LLDPE carrier, used to replace 10–30% of virgin resin in polyethylene film while keeping tensile strength and gloss within specification. Supplied as free-flowing granules in 25 kg bags.

What it does: calcium carbonate is a low-cost mineral filler. Adding it at the right rate lowers resin consumption per tonne of finished film, raises stiffness and improves dimensional stability, at the cost of some tensile and tear strength.

Values are stated for standard grades. The datasheet issued with your order takes precedence over this page.

Where it works — and where it does not

This grade is built for cost reduction in polyolefin film and moulded parts. It is not a universal filler.

Suitable for

  • Blown film: carrier bags, T-shirt bags, garbage bags, agricultural mulch film
  • Cast film (CPE / CPP) and protective packaging
  • Injection moulded household goods, crates and pallets
  • PP woven sack coating and raffia
  • Buyers targeting 10–30% resin cost reduction

Not suitable for

  • Transparent or high-clarity film — calcium carbonate is opaque
  • Food-contact surfaces above 30% loading without re-validation
  • Engineering plastics processed above 260 °C
  • High-tensile applications such as geotextile or strapping where strength cannot be traded
  • Salt-water or chemical pipe where mineral filler accelerates stress cracking

Suggested addition rate by process

ProcessTypical additionNotes
Blown film (LDPE / LLDPE)10–30%Above 30% tear strength drops sharply; run a trial before committing
Cast film (CPE / CPP)10–25%Lower loading preserves gloss
Injection molding (PP)20–40%Raises stiffness and heat deflection temperature
Raffia / woven sack15–30%Improves body and reduces fibrillation

Rates assume a 80% CaCO3 grade. Higher-content grades require a lower addition rate to reach the same filler level.

Documentation supplied with every batch

TDS — technical datasheet

English, one page per grade, listing every parameter on this page together with its test method and test condition.

COA — batch certificate

Issued per production batch with measured values and the batch number, so the numbers you receive match the numbers you were quoted.

MSDS — safety data sheet

English, in the 16-section format required by most destination customs authorities, plus HS code guidance.

Frequently asked questions

How much CaCO3 is actually in the masterbatch?

Standard film grades carry 75–85% calcium carbonate by weight, typically 80%. If you need a different loading, tell us the filler level you want in the finished product and we will quote the matching concentrate.

Will filler masterbatch reduce the strength of my film?

Yes, above a certain loading. Tensile and tear strength fall as filler content rises. In blown film most producers stay at or below 30% addition; the exact ceiling depends on your resin, die and draw ratio, so a trial on your own line is the only reliable test.

What is the difference between 1250 mesh and 2500 mesh?

Mesh size describes how finely the calcium carbonate is ground: 1250 mesh is roughly 10 μm, 2500 mesh roughly 5 μm. Finer particles disperse better and give a smoother film surface, but cost more.

Can you supply a food-contact grade?

Yes, on request, against the relevant destination regulation. Food-contact grades are quoted separately because the raw material source and heavy-metal testing differ from standard grades.

What is the minimum order and lead time?

One metric ton per grade, with a 7–15 day production lead time depending on grade and quantity. Trial quantities can be combined with other grades on one pallet.
