Pellet calcium carbonate/polymer composite Limex®

for packagingfor blow moldingfor extrusion

LIMEX Pellet, whose main raw material is calcium carbonate (limestone), is a material that can be used as a substitute for plastic. It is manufactured by heating and mixing calcium carbonate powder, polyolefin thermoplastic resin, and various additives, and cutting the uniformly dispersed composite material into uniform sizes and shapes. Like general plastic pellets, it can be used in a variety of molding methods and can be used with existing equipment. As an alternative to petroleum-based plastics Compared to conventional petroleum-based plastics, "LIMEX Pellet" can significantly reduce the amount of petroleum used, contributing to the conservation of limited petroleum resources. It also makes it possible to reduce CO2 emissions throughout the entire lifecycle, from procurement of raw materials to disposal. The main raw material, limestone, has a stable supply compared to petroleum-based plastics, and its price fluctuates little, making it possible to provide it at a stable price. "LIMEX Pellet" can be easily mechanical recycling in existing recycling facilities just like single materials, so we offer "LIMEX R Pellet" made by re-pelletizing scraps generated during the manufacturing process of "LIMEX Sheet", and "LIMEX UP Pellet" made by re-pelletizing used LIMEX products. We have also developed a material called "Bio LIMEX" for bag products, replacing petroleum-based plastic with plant-derived plastic. We are working to visualize and reduce the environmental impact that occurs during the product life cycle through LCA (Life Cycle Assessment).
