TaiYang Industry collaborates with ITRI to tackle the issue of discarded oyster shells, successfully developing innovative Precipitated Calcium Carbonate.
TaiYang Industry collaborates with the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) to successfully develop a special patent, transforming discarded oyster shells into high-quality Precipitated Calcium Carbonate. This innovation not only addresses the environmental issues caused by discarded oyster shells in coastal areas but also demonstrates a high level of commitment to sustainable economic development.
Precipitated Calcium Carbonate has several advantages. Firstly, it has a lower specific gravity, effectively reducing the density of products without compromising their mechanical properties. Secondly, precipitated calcium carbonate has smaller particle size and higher purity, giving it an advantage as a filler to improve the performance of materials such as plastics and rubber. Additionally, due to its high whiteness and excellent optical properties, precipitated calcium carbonate can enhance the appearance quality of products, making them more attractive.
TaiYang Industry’s precipitated calcium carbonate, in addition to the above advantages, also has the following characteristics:
1. High Purity: TaiYang Industry is committed to optimizing product quality, ensuringhigh quality and environmental standards through strict inspection and testing. Test results show that the product is free of heavy metal residues and passes over 200 tests for Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) under the European REACH regulation.
2. Special Crystal Structure: Special patented technology is employed in the production process to create a unique crystal structure for the precipitated calcium carbonate. The crystal structure exhibits a spherical granular shape with low density and fine particles. It boasts high homogeneity, high purity (>98%), high conversion rate (>99%), and is non-toxic to the environment. The spherical granular crystal phase also features a significant hollow structure, which can be controlled for production under optimal conditions. This type of calcium carbonate can be used not only in the development of highly stretchable plastics but also as a carrier for drugs. Additionally, it can improve paper quality, thus increasing commercial value.
3. Sustainable Utilization: The production process utilizes discarded oyster shells as raw materials, effectively addressing the environmental issues associated with oyster shell waste and promoting resource reuse. This not only enhances the added value of oyster shells, promoting circular economy but also expands new blueprints for sustainable development.
In terms of applications, precipitated calcium carbonate has a wide range of uses, including:
Plastic Industry: Used as a filler in plastic pipes, plastic bottles, footwear products, wiresand cables, EVA foam, etc., to improve the ductility and mechanical properties of plastic materials, while reducing product density and extending product life.
Beauty Industry: Used in products such as foundation, eyebrow palettes, sunscreen products,facial cleansers, toothpaste, toners, loose powder, compact powder, lipstick, etc., to improve product texture, enhance coverage and color uniformity, and enhance the appearance quality and attractiveness of the products.
Medical Field: Used as a drug carrier, especially the hollow structure calcium carbonate spherical granular crystal phase, which can be used in drug delivery and controlled release systems to improve drug stability and bioavailability while reducing side effects.
The above applications demonstrate the versatility and wide range of uses of precipitated calcium carbonate in various fields, providing effective solutions for enhancing product quality and performance improvement.
TaiYang Industry considers this innovative product as a concrete practice of corporate socialresponsibility and actively promotes it to the market. We hope that through this environmentally friendly initiative, we can further lead the industry towards sustainable development while making positive contributions to the community environment and economic development. We look forward to witnessing the champions of this environmental technology working together for the sustainable future of our planet.
