Abstract

See full text

A thermoplastic granule containing a high proportion of a particulate carbonate filler in a thermoplastic binder, for blending with an end product thermoplastic in which the carbonate filler is to be dispersed. The granule comprises at least 85% by weight of a particulate carbonate which is coated with one or more fatty acids having a carbon chain length of from 12 to 20 carbon atoms. The balance of the granule by weight comprises a thermoplastic polymeric binder which is solid at ambient temperature and is compatible with the end product thermoplastic in which the carbonate filler is to be dispersed. The polymeric binder is an amorphous polyolefins and/or a highly branched polyethylene wax. The PSD of the carbonate is selected to maximize packing.
