OceanCal is an excellent renewable, biogenic, and sustainable filler for plastics and bioplastics, making it an attractive product for customers and companies looking to improve their raw material sources and environmental impacts.

Much of the industry uses ground calcium carbonate (GCC) sourced from mines. These mines are non-renewable — once they have been exhausted, they are gone. They also have a large environmental footprint contributing to deforestation, habitat loss, and changes in local geological conditions.

OceanCal is derived from oolitic aragonite, a biogenic, renewable, and sustainable source of calcium carbonate. Aragonite’s unique crystalline morphology also improves its performance in plastic or bioplastic products by increasing strength and durability. It is a responsible raw material source for plastics/bioplastics companies focused on reducing their impacts from the beginning-of-life for their raw materials to the end-of-life of their finished products, without sacrificing performance.

OceanCal can be offered with surface treatment or without surface treatment in various particle sizes to meet your needs. Learn more about OceanCal here.
