Contact Careers Group Your Omya Solutions Pipes & Profiles Calcium carbonate is used in numerous rigid PVC applications, the most significant of which are pipes and profiles. Omya is continuously updating its product range for these applications. Most recently, Omya has developed an innovative solution for adding calcium carbonate directly at the extruder, thus allowing higher loadings. Pipes & fittings (PVC and polyolefin) Omya's range of calcium carbonates (Omyalite and Omyacarb) is unparalleled, covers the entire spectrum of applications for pipes and fittings and has the following benefits: Improved processing (reduced cooling time) Reduced cycle time (fittings) Higher ring stiffness Mechanical requirements for PVC pressure pipes Homogeneous foam structure (structured wall pipes) Higher elastic modulus Profiles & sidings Adding more Hydrocarb to PVC profiles and sidings can yield substantial benefits. By choosing the right calcium carbonate, the process can benefit from: Higher impact strength Better gloss Superior surface finish Good processing at high loadings Specialty chemicals Our offering is completed by: Impact modifiers Pigments Lubricants and stabilizers For further information, please use our contact form Your Omya Advantages R & D Interdisciplinary Research Performance & Efficiency Services & Support Technical Services & Innovation Technical Services Innovation and Application Development Production Secured Raw Material Supply State-of-the-Art-Facilities ISO Certified Quality Control Supply Chain Procurement Logistics Customer Service Specialty Chemicals Distribution Customized Distribution Offer Local Knowledge - Global Understanding Relationships Company History Guiding Principles Sustainability Ground Calcium Carbonate Precipitated Calcium Carbonate Dolomite Your Omya Solutions Printing & Writing Construction Technical Polymer Applications Packaging Consumer Goods Agriculture & Forestry Water & Energy Contact Impressum Terms and Conditions Copyright Omya AG 2014
