Imerys 263LD Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of Imerys 263LD Pigment in polymer systems?

A: Imerys 263LD Pigment is a high-purity, surface-treated calcium carbonate grade designed primarily to provide opacity, brightness, and improved dispersion in demanding polymer applications—especially where consistent color performance and low volatility are required.


Q2: Is Imerys 263LD suitable for food-contact plastics?

A: Yes—Imerys 263LD is manufactured under strict quality controls and complies with global regulatory expectations for mineral fillers used in food-contact polymers. Its production adheres to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), and it is commonly selected for applications where purity, low heavy metal content, and thermal stability are critical.


Q3: How does Imerys 263LD differ from standard ground calcium carbonates?

A: Unlike conventional ground calcium carbonates, 263LD features a controlled particle size distribution, enhanced surface treatment for superior polymer compatibility, and optimized morphology to support higher loading levels without compromising melt flow or mechanical integrity.


Q4: What types of polymers is Imerys 263LD most commonly used with?

A: It is widely used in polyolefins (PP, HDPE, LDPE), engineering thermoplastics, and certain PVC formulations—particularly where improved whiteness, reduced yellowness index, and consistent batch-to-batch performance are valued.


Q5: What is the typical dosage range for Imerys 263LD in masterbatch or compound formulations?

A: Dosage depends on formulation requirements and desired functional outcomes, but it is typically used at low concentrations for pigmentary effect—generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight—and may be increased for filler functionality while maintaining optical performance.
