Collection: Rubber and Plastic

Both rubber and plastic are materials widely used in a variety of products in modern industry, and various minerals and materials are used in their production.

Some of the minerals used in the production of rubber and plastic are:

  1. Calcium carbonate: It is used as a filler in the production of plastics, as it can improve the wear resistance and rigidity of the final product.

  2. Silica: It is used as a reinforcing agent in rubber production, as it can improve the strength and elasticity of the material.

  3. Talc: It is used as a filler in the production of plastics, as it can improve the rigidity and impact resistance of the final product.

  4. Kaolin: used as a reinforcing agent in rubber production, as it can improve the strength and durability of the material.

  5. Zinc oxide: it is used as a vulcanizing agent in the production of rubber, since it helps to improve the resistance and elasticity of the material.

  6. Calcium stearate: Used as a release agent in plastics production, as it can improve the material's ability to slide and separate from production molds.
