WOLLASTONITE FILLER SOLUTIONS FOR PLASTICS

FUNCTIONAL FILLER FOR STRENGTH, STABILITY & SURFACE FINISH

We supply engineered wollastonite grades that reinforce plastics and composites without sacrificing flow or density — ideal for high-performance applications.

InduMinerals provides wollastonite specifically developed for plastics, polymers, and composites. Used as a reinforcing filler, it improves modulus, dimensional stability, and impact resistance — especially in thermoplastics, thermosets, and engineering compounds. Thanks to its acicular (needle-like) structure, wollastonite aligns during processing to enhance mechanical strength without significantly increasing density or hindering processability. Applications include: – Automotive components – Electrical housings and connectors – Consumer product housings – Performance packaging

RECOMMENDED GRADES FOR PLASTICS & POLYMERS

  • Use cases: PP compounds, ABS, PA6/PA66, automotive interior/exterior

  • Benefits:

  • Reinforces structural strength and stiffness

  • Aligns during flow for anisotropic reinforcement

  • Cost-effective vs. other fibers (e.g. glass fiber)

  • Use cases: Thin-wall molding, high-performance films, masterbatches

  • Benefits:

  • Enables high loading with excellent dispersion

  • Enhances surface properties in visible parts

  • Lowers warpage in precision components

PROCESSING & COMPATIBILITY

Wollastonite is compatible with most polymer systems and processable via multiple methods.​​

Process methods include: – Extrusion compounding – Injection and blow molding – Twin-screw compounding and masterbatching Surface treatment options such as silane, stearate, or other coupling agents are available to improve interfacial adhesion and compatibility with a wide range of resin matrices.

PERFORMANCE BENEFITS IN POLYMER FORMULATIONS

Reinforcement without compromising processability.

– Increases tensile strength and flexural modulus – Enhances heat deflection temperature (HDT) – Reduces shrinkage and improves dimensional stability – Improves scratch resistance and surface finish – Maintains good flow in injection or extrusion – Compatible with PP, PE, PA, PVC, ABS, PBT, TPE, and more

SUPPORT FOR COMPOUNDERS & FORMULATORS

We provide: – Application-specific particle sizing and morphology – Surface-modified grades upon request – Spec sheets, COAs, and technical testing support
