Footwear Industry
Used as a functional and reinforcing filler for rubber and TPR shoe soles, slider soles, and floor mats to lower material costs while enhancing strength, whiteness, and surface finish.
How Calcium Carbonate Enhances Footwear Industry Formulations
Calcium Carbonate plays a critical functional role in Footwear Industry. It goes beyond behaving as a standard low-cost extender; it directly modifies compounding density, physical strength coefficients, surface smoothness, processing speed, and chemical properties.
