Mineral Powders for the Plastics & Polymers Industry

The plastics and polymer processing industry uses mineral fillers to reduce resin costs, improve mechanical properties, and enhance processing characteristics. At Ridhi Sidhi Microns, we manufacture precision-graded mineral powders for PP, PE, and PVC systems. Talc powder is the premier filler for polypropylene (PP) compounds, especially in the automotive sector. At loading levels of 10–40%, talc significantly increases flexural modulus, heat deflection temperature, and dimensional stability. Automotive manufacturers specify talc-filled PP for dashboard components and door panels. Calcite powder is the dominant filler in PVC compounds. In rigid PVC pipes, calcite reduces cost while maintaining impact strength. Our GCC grades with D50 of 2–5 µm provide superior impact retention at high loading levels. Ground Calcium Carbonate (GCC) is extensively used in masterbatch manufacturing. Our GCC grades with controlled particle size and high brightness are optimized for PE and PP masterbatch production, ensuring excellent dispersion.
