Carpet industry
When talking about caoutchouc, latex available as dispersion has to be also mentioned. Applying special technologies, small amounts of lactices are used to produce rubber articles and furthermore, on a large scale lactices are used for a variety of other appliances. Thus, the raw material caoutchouc in the form of latex is also very important in the technical respect and the production quantity of latices in all is considerably high. In latex mixtures and foam latex, too, chalk is a priceworthy filler.
Especially the carpet industry falls back on the use of this easy to distribute chalk filler. For the coating of the carpet back, our prepared chalk from Lägerdorf NORDKRONE has to be mentioned. Here, the high filling degree considerably contributes to the optimization of costs, while simultaneously fulfilling the high quality requirements.
