Granic® 1027

1 of 5 products in this brand
Granic® 1027 by GCR Group is a 100% recyclable, environment friendly calcium carbonate grade. Acts as a cavitating agent. Exhibits controlled particle size distribution and low density. Provides an optimized balance between low density & stiffness and high tensile strength. Offers pearl appearance and high opacity, avoiding shiny spots appearance. Granic® 1027 can be processed using extrusion. It is recommended for pearlized and metalized BOPP films. It is certified to have low carbon footprint which allows the reduction of end product environmental impact.
