Imerys supply a comprehensive portfolio of calcium carbonates know under the brands PolCarb™ and ImerCarb™: Both fine and ultrafine ground calcium carbonates (GCC) are used in a wide range of rubber applications as high loading extenders providing a certain level of reinforcement. Surface treated grades can be used to ease handling and improve its dispersion within the compound. Imerys’ range of Kaolins includes the branded product ranges Hexafil™, Polarite™, PoleStar™, Polwhite™ and Speswhite™, these consist of Ultrafine kaolin semi-reinforcing fillers used in a wide variety of rubber applications, Ball clays that offer more reinforcement than kaolin, as a result of its finer particle size. A common application for ball clays is in the shoe soling and rubber floor mat industry. Calcined kaolin and surface treated calcined kaolin improves mechanical and electrical properties including grades for use at all voltage levels of cable insulation compound.

Lanxess’s iron oxide and chromium oxide Bayferrox® and Colortherm® heat and weather stable inorganic pigments in black, brown, red and yellow and chrome oxide green are REACH-certified and are suitable for the colouration of a wide variety of rubber products.
