OmyaPET®

OmyaPET® by Omya is a new especially for PET functionalized calcium carbonate with unique benefits in PET and PETG processing. When producing masterbatch with OmyaPET®, a higher IV can be achieved than when using other calcium carbonates. In the production of SBM white-opaque PET milk bottles, it increases opacity and is an ideal complement to titanium dioxide, resulting in more economic and sustainable bottles. White opaque BOPET films made with it has a lower density than films made with titanium dioxide or precipitated barium sulfate and thus also has a lower carbon footprint. In PET thermoforming, it can improve crystallinity, even at high draw down ratios. When 3D printing PETG with this grade, articles appear more opaque and light is scattered. It is produced in various locations and in the case of OmyaPET® 21-AV it is particularly noteworthy that it is made from certified 100% recycled materials that comply with the European food contact regulations EU 10/2011.
