Omya Carb Calcium Carbonate 40 - 25kg

Omya Carb Calcium Carbonate 40 is a fine mineral filler used to modify polyester, vinyl ester and epoxy resin systems in fibreglass and composite fabrication. The powder increases viscosity, improves workability and allows resin systems to be thickened for filler compounds and mould preparation.

Calcium carbonate fillers are widely used in composite manufacturing and fibreglass repair work where cost effective resin thickening and improved handling characteristics are required. Omya Carb 40 provides consistent particle size distribution and reliable dispersion within resin systems, helping produce stable filler mixtures for laminating and fabrication applications.

KEY FEATURES:

• Fine calcium carbonate filler powder
  
• Used to thicken polyester, vinyl ester and epoxy resins
  
• Improves handling and workability of resin mixtures
  
• Consistent particle size for reliable mixing
  
• Supplied in 25kg industrial bag

COMMON APPLICATIONS:

• Fibreglass filler compounds
  
• Composite fabrication and mould preparation
  
• Resin thickening for laminating applications
  
• Marine and automotive fibreglass repairs
  
• Industrial composite manufacturing

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
Avoid inhaling dust when handling powdered fillers. Wear appropriate protective equipment including gloves, eye protection and a dust mask when mixing filler materials.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
Gradually add calcium carbonate filler to resin while mixing until the desired viscosity is achieved. Ensure the powder is evenly dispersed before adding catalyst or hardener according to the resin manufacturer’s instructions.
