Buyer intent coverage

Ultrafine Calcium Carbonate — 5000 Mesh GCC — what it is, where it is used, how it is chosen

Coarse, high-loading ground calcium carbonate (GCC, CaCO3) is a mineral filler intended for polyolefin and PVC compounds where cost-per-kilogram of the finished compound is the primary commercial driver.

Primary uses

  • High-loading polyolefin film and sheet
  • Rigid PVC compounding
  • Cost-driven PP / PE compounds
  • Construction plastics

Applications

  • High-loading polyolefin film / sheet
  • Rigid PVC pipe, profile, fittings
  • Cost-driven PP / PE parts
  • Construction plastics (WPC, geomembrane liners, ducting)

Advantages

  • Reduces cost per kilogram of the finished compound at high loadings
  • Coated grades support polyolefin dispersion at elevated filler loads
  • Uncoated grades common and cost-optimal for rigid PVC

Limitations to consider

  • High loadings shift mechanical properties — impact and elongation must be re-validated
  • Freight is a large share of landed cost — plan quarterly
  • Coating status is compound-critical — not a marketing choice

How to choose the right grade

  • Coated for high-loading polyolefin dispersion
  • Uncoated for rigid PVC and cost-optimal compounds
  • Confirm top-cut particle size against surface-quality requirement
  • Validate mechanical properties at target loading before scaling

Typical grades

  • Coarse coated GCC (polyolefin high-loading)
  • Coarse uncoated GCC (PVC compounding)

Comparable materials — how Ultrafine Calcium Carbonate — 5000 Mesh GCC sits against alternatives

  • Fine GCC — better surface / dispersion, higher unit price
  • Talc — different aspect ratio, stiffness profile
  • Precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) — engineered fine, higher price band

Comparable-material reference. Grade selection is confirmed at RFQ against your process.

About this product

Ultrafine Calcium Carbonate — 5000 Mesh GCC — product overview

F-FF5000 is a ground calcium carbonate (GCC) filler positioned for higher-loading applications in polyolefin film, sheet and rigid PVC where cost-per-kilogram of the finished compound is the primary commercial driver. As with any GCC grade, the practical decision variables are mean particle size, top-cut, brightness and coating status — coated grades (typically stearic-acid surface-treated) disperse more readily in polyolefins and reduce torque, while uncoated grades are usually selected for PVC and where the downstream process tolerates the higher polar surface. Precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) is a separate product family with finer, engineered particle geometry and is not interchangeable with GCC. Grade family, particle-size distribution and coating status are confirmed at RFQ against the supplier TDS/COA.

Document & COA status
  • • TDS: Verified product TDS available below.
  • • SDS: Safety data is subject to grade and supplier confirmation. One SDS does not necessarily apply to every grade or supplier.
  • • COA: Certificate of Analysis is provided against the confirmed shipment, grade and batch. No stock, lead-time or regulatory claim is implied without written confirmation.

Pricing & Market Factors

What drives the price of Ultrafine Calcium Carbonate — 5000 Mesh GCC in Canada

Current pricing is confirmed through a live quotation because industrial material costs depend on grade, volume, origin, packaging, freight and delivery location, and move with global commodity, ocean-freight and CAD/USD cycles. Allzone does not publish spot prices — the drivers below help you frame the RFQ.

  • Loading strategy. Coarse, high-loading grades exist because cost-per-kg of the finished compound is the primary driver.
  • Coating status. Coated grades support polyolefin dispersion; uncoated grades are cheaper and typical for PVC.
  • Volume. Full container / bulk purchases materially lower landed cost.
  • Freight. Ocean and inland freight typically exceed 30% of landed cost — plan quarterly.

Buyer FAQ

Questions Canadian buyers ask about Ultrafine Calcium Carbonate — 5000 Mesh GCC

When is a coarse, high-loading GCC preferred?
Coarse, high-loading GCC grades exist for cost-driven polyolefin film and sheet, rigid PVC compounding and construction plastics where cost-per-kilogram of the finished compound is the primary commercial driver.
Coated or uncoated for high-loading polyolefin masterbatch?
For high-loading polyolefin masterbatch, coated (typically stearic-acid) GCC disperses more readily and reduces torque. Uncoated grades are usually chosen for rigid PVC. Confirm coating status at RFQ against the intended process.
What is the difference between GCC and PCC for high-loading applications?
GCC (natural, milled) is standard for cost-driven high-loading compounds. PCC (precipitated, engineered) is finer and used where mechanical or optical performance justify the higher price. They are separate product families.
Do you supply high-loading GCC across Canada?
Yes. Allzone supplies coarse, high-loading GCC grades to PVC extruders and polyolefin compounders across Ontario, Quebec and Western Canada. Freight is a major cost factor at high loading; plan quarterly.
What information should a coarse GCC quote request include?
State the base resin and process (PVC or polyolefin), target loading and mechanical constraints, coating preference, packaging (bag or jumbo bag), destination and quarterly volume plan.
