Fundamental Concepts: Mineral Contributions to Plastics Performance
The Performance Minerals Group of Specialty Minerals Inc. (SMI) has a series of web pages that will help you understand the role our precipitated calcium carbonates (PCCs), ground calcium carbonates (GCCs), talcs, talc-based and antiblocks play in maximizing the performance of polymers. These pages provide the fundamentals of four plastic performance characteristics and the role of various minerals in their enhancement.
