Calcit HydroPlus

Calcit HydroPlus is a natural, wet ground calcium carbonate of exceptionally high purity. It is used as a coating pigment in the production of paper and board, improving their glossiness, smoothness and printability. HydroPlus shows excellent performance in the production of highquality graph paper and board. Suitable granulation allows the reduction of clay in the coating mixes and consequently increases whiteness of the coated papers and cardboard.
