Linear low-density polyethylene

Measure of the roughness due to the kaolin particle shape and size and the presence of quartz.

A compound that adheres or bonds two items together. Adhesives may come from either natural or synthetic sources.

A mineral (aluminium oxide [Al2

(Or aluminum silicate) has the chemical formula Al2

An antiblock additive is a mineral that creates a small ammount of surface roughness in a film to stop it sticking to itself.

Kaolinitic sedimentary clays, that commonly consists of 20-80% kaolinite, 10-25% mica, 6-65% quartz.

A polyolefin film into which coated ground calcium carbonate (Filmlink™) is incorporated during the production process. This creates micropores that allow air to circulate without affecting the film’s watertightness.

(enhancement) The reflectance (or whiteness) of the dried kaolin.  Enhanced by the  removal of coloured contaminants to improve the whiteness of the kaolin product.

A thermal treatment process applied to ores and other solid materials in order to bring about a thermal decomposition, phase transition, or removal of a volatile fraction. The calcination process normally takes place at temperatures below the melting point of the product materials. Calcination is to be distinguished from roasting, in which more com [..]
