Treated Ground Calcium Carbonate

FiberLink™ 101S is a premium, ultra fine particle size, wet ground marble specifically designed for use in fiber products. The raw powder can be added directly to powdered resin, but should be compounded when using pelletized resin. The powder is post treated to reduce the level of agglomerates.

FiberLink™ 101S is ideal for the following applications:

Spunbond Webs

Melt Blown Webs

Staple Fibers

Benefits of Mineral Additives in Nonwovens

Performance Attributes:

Improved Stiffness

Improved Thermal Conductivity => Faster Throughput

Improved Dart Impact (up to 20% loading)

Increased Opacity

Cost Savings:

Replacement of resin with a lower cost raw material

Lower Carbon Footprint:

Treated GCC has smaller carbon footprint than PP and PE resins*

FiberLink™ 101S

Add up to 20% by weight in Spunbond PP webs.
      - Resin Concentrate - recommend 75-85% loading GCC

Add up to 40% by weight in Melt Blown PP Webs

Balance loading with physical property requirements

Increase line speed => Achieve same basis weight.
