Composites 2013 is under way at the Orlando (FL) Convention Center’s north hall.  We’re in booth 633 and enjoying a great opening day by visiting with a number of event attendees.  Please stop by and learn more about our calcium carbonate extenders, non-halogen flame retardants and smoke suppressants and cast polymer performance materials.  Learn more about Huber products like Hubercarb® W4 calcium carbonate and MoldX® optimized alumina trihydrate.  We are looking forward to your visit!

Hubercarb® W4 Calcium Carbonate Featured At Composites 2013

Posted on by

We will be talking about Hubercarb® W4 calcium carbonate next week at Composites 2013.  Be sure and stop by booth 633 to learn more.

W4 is milled from a unique micritic limestone ore.  This soft and virtually silica-free ore also mills to a more spherical shape than conventional marble sources, which grind to rhombohedral forms.  This provides for maximum particle packing and minimizes glass breakage during processing and molding operations.

Look at the micrographs for Competitor A and Competitor B as they illustrate the sharp edges inherent in such crystal forms.  In comparison, Hubercarb W4 mills to a more spherical form with far less sharp edges that can break glass fibers and introduct stress concentration points in the final product.  Click on the micrographs to enlarge.
