Calcium Carbonate from Calcit: The Perfect Raw Material for the Paper Industry

Calcit offers calcium carbonate solutions with the CoverPlex, HydroPlex and CalPlex product families that are optimally tailored to the requirements of the paper industry:

CoverPlex: These special coating pigments are used in the production of all types of paper and board. The narrow particle size distribution allows the use of kaolin to be reduced, improving the rheological properties of the coating mass and lowering production costs.

HydroPlex: The products of this group serve as filler, pre-coat and coating pigments for all types of graphic papers and board as well as filler for production colors. High whiteness, chemical purity, constant viscosity and optimal particle distribution improve surface properties and printability.

CalPlex: These products are also used as filler, pre-coat and coating pigments for graphic papers and board. They are indispensable as fillers for paints, varnishes, plasters, facades, leveling compounds and plastics and are also used as food additives and in pharmaceuticals. The suitable particle distribution, high whiteness and chemical purity ensure good opacity and mechanical properties of the end products.

Here you will find the product range of calcium carbonate solutions from Calcit that are optimally tailored to the requirements of the paper industry.

The advantages of Calcit's calcium carbonate products for the paper industry are obvious:

  • Optimization of paper properties such as whiteness, opacity, smoothness and printability
