Q1: What is the main difference between Calcium Carbonate and Talc as fillers?
A: CaCO₃ provides stiffness and cost reduction, while Talc offers smoothness and better flowability during processing.
Q2: Which one is more cost-effective for non-woven bag manufacturing?
A: Calcium Carbonate is generally more cost-effective and allows higher loading, making it the preferred choice for large-scale production.
Q3: When should Talc be used instead of CaCO₃?
A: Talc is preferred when the product requires:
-
a softer, smoother surface
-
controlled static properties
-
finer fiber formation
-
improved melt flow
These are typical in higher-end non-woven applications, such as hygiene products.
Q4: Can Calcium Carbonate and Talc be used together?
A: Yes. Some manufacturers blend both fillers to achieve a balance of cost, stiffness, and smoothness.
Q5: Which filler is better for eco-friendly or reusable non-woven bags?
A: Calcium Carbonate is ideal due to its high stiffness, good recyclability, and lower environmental impact during production.
