OMYAFILM

The production of breathable film is a very demanding process and has high requirements on the Calcium Carbonate, especially in the hygiene sector. Omya has developed a tailor made Omyafilm product line for the production of breathable films that meets these demanding trends... Polylactic Acid (PLA) and Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) or compounds containing one of the two materials are the material of choice for applications such as fruit and vegetable bags, chip bags, BOPLA packaging films and agricultural films. The use of Calcium Carbonate in these hydrolysis-sensitive polymers requires a special surface modification on the calcium carbonate to prevent polymer degradation during extrusion. Answering the market demand to use more calcium carbonate in biopolymers, Omya has developed Omya Smartfill, which also enables higher filler loads and improved film properties... Calcium Carbonate is the most commonly used mineral for process, product and cost optimization for the production of..
