MINERAL FILLERS

Premium Vietnamese calcium carbonate, resin and filler from one supplier.

High-whiteness ground calcium carbonate (GCC) — the four-grade Kantor KC Series, coated and uncoated — for masterbatch, film, and PVC. Our flagship line: Kantor Materials produces it through a vertically integrated Vietnamese operation, with China-origin resin available from the same supplier.

THE KANTOR KC SERIES

Premium plastics-modification GCC.

Four engineered grades — KC-4, KC-6, KC-10, KC-17 — running from ultrafine film grade to general filler: high whiteness and fine, consistent particle size for applications where domestic mid-grade powder underperforms or pushes up TiO₂ cost. The grade is matched to your application, and the spec is confirmed per lot.

Whiteness matters most in the white-and-opaque segment (masterbatch, white film, caps, light PVC). It is not a substitute for TiO₂ — CaCO₃ extends titanium dioxide, it does not replace it. We will tell you where the grade is worth its premium and where ordinary filler is the right choice. See what the extension is worth on your line →

TWO ORIGINS, ONE SUPPLIER

Resin and filler, one relationship.

A converter importing resin from China and filler from Vietnam is running two certificate-of-origin regimes, two suppliers, and two FX exposures. We handle both — China-origin resin on Form E and premium Vietnamese GCC on its preferential certificate (Form D within ASEAN, Form AI into India) — as one quotation, one set of documents, and one point of accountability.

That puts one party accountable for getting both certificate regimes right, simplifies coordination, and gives you a single point of accountability for the quality of what arrives — while either input can still be sourced on its own.

WHAT WE COORDINATE
  • China-origin resin (PP, PE, PVC, engineering grades) — Form E
  • Premium Vietnamese GCC powder, coated or uncoated — Form D / Form AI
  • Filler masterbatch on demand
  • Matching grade to application, with documentation
  • Sourcing, quality, and logistics handled by one supplier
WHERE IT FITS

Applications.

Filler masterbatch

The most direct fit. High-whiteness fine powder for compounders making CaCO₃ masterbatch for sacks, film, and sheet.

BOPP / BOPET & blown film

Where whiteness, fine particle size, and coated dispersion matter most — thin gauges expose agglomeration and specks.

Light-colour PVC

Pipe, profile, and fittings where a high-whiteness filler protects appearance at higher loadings.

White HDPE & closures

Opaque-white bottles, caps, and closures — the segment where the whiteness premium is genuinely worth paying.

DOCUMENTATION & QUALITY

Specified, documented, repeatable.

A premium filler is only worth it if the second container matches the first. The grade is specified up front, with full lot documentation available on qualification.

Technical Data Sheet

Kantor-branded TDS covering whiteness, particle size, purity, oil absorption, and coating level.

Per-lot Certificate of Analysis

Whiteness, D50, CaCO₃ content, residue, and moisture confirmed per production lot.

Certificate of Origin

Form D or Form AI for Vietnam-origin GCC, and Form E for China-origin resin — preferential duty where it applies.

Heavy-metals testing

A third-party heavy-metals panel (Pb / As / Cd / Hg) is being finalized with an accredited lab — available on request to support food-contact and premium qualification programs.

FREE SAMPLE

Test it on your own line before you buy.

Every KC grade is available as a free sample — under 1 tonne, dispatched within 48 hours, with the TDS and a per-lot certificate of analysis. Run it on your own equipment against the grade you use today, and decide only after you see the results. Tell us your application and we will match the grade — or answer two questions in the grade selector and it is matched for you.

COMMERCIAL TERMS

How ordering works.

Free sample
Under 1 tonne, free, dispatched within 48 hours — with the TDS and a per-lot certificate of analysis, so your lab can qualify the grade before you commit to anything.
Minimum order
One 20-foot container — 24 tonnes. The same per-tonne price as large volumes; no extra cost for ordering the minimum.
Delivery term
FOB Haiphong, Vietnam as standard; CFR or CIF to your port on request. Sea routes to Manila, Jakarta, Bangkok, and Indian ports are short and direct — sailing time is measured in days.
Payment
30% deposit by bank transfer (T/T), 70% against the bill of lading.
Packaging
Standard ~1.4 tonne jumbo bags (FIBC).
Documents
TDS, per-lot COA, and the certificate of origin for your preferential duty rate — Form D (ASEAN) or Form AI (India).

Filler Economics Calculator

See what a high-whiteness grade is worth on your line — the titanium-dioxide savings, on your own numbers.

How Much Titanium Dioxide It Replaces

Calcium carbonate extends titanium dioxide — it does not replace its hiding power. How much of the loading actually comes out (often 10–30%), and how to verify it on your line.

What “KC Grade” Calcium Carbonate Means

“KC” is a supplier code, not a standard — how to read GCC grade codes by top cut (D97), whiteness, and coating rather than the label.

Mesh to Micron Conversion (with Chart)

A mesh-to-micron chart for calcium carbonate — plus why fine GCC can't actually be sieved, so buy on the D97 in microns, not the mesh number.

Producer-Direct vs. Trader

Most sellers of Vietnamese GCC are traders reselling a plant's powder — five checks to tell, and why buying producer-direct changes consistency and traceability.

Coated vs. Uncoated: When to Use Which

Stearic-acid coating, dispersion, moisture pickup — and a practical rule for choosing each.

Loading Rate & Cost Savings

How much CaCO₃ you can load before properties fall — and where the real cost savings are.

Avoiding Filler Brittleness

Why over-filling embrittles parts, and how particle size, coating, and loading interact.

India: Masterbatch ADD → Raw Powder

Why India's anti-dumping duty — and the countervailing duty recommended on top in June 2026 — is pushing compounders to raw GCC powder.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Questions buyers ask.

What is the Kantor KC Series?

The Kantor KC Series is a four-grade premium Vietnamese ground calcium carbonate (GCC) for plastics — KC-4, KC-6, KC-10, and KC-17 — running from an ultrafine film grade to a general filler. It is produced through a vertically integrated Northern Vietnam operation and supplied with a TDS, a per-lot certificate of analysis, and a Form D or Form AI certificate of origin.

What whiteness and brightness does Kantor KC Series GCC have?

Whiteness ≥98% and ISO brightness (R457 / ISO 2470) ≥95% across all four grades — above typical mid-grade filler powder. CaCO₃ purity is ≥98%, with Fe₂O₃ ≤0.05% and MgO ≤0.5%. Values are typical and confirmed per production lot on the certificate of analysis.

What is the difference between KC-4, KC-6, KC-10, and KC-17?

Particle size only. KC-4 is the finest top cut (D97 about 5.5 µm) and KC-17 the coarsest (D97 about 17 µm); D50 runs about 1.5–3.6 µm. Whiteness and chemistry are the same across the ladder — the grade is matched to your product's gauge, since defects come from the coarse tail of the particle-size distribution.

Is Kantor KC Series calcium carbonate coated or uncoated?

Both — every grade is available uncoated or with a stearic-acid coating. As a rule of thumb, the higher the loading, the thinner the product, and the finer the grade, the more a coating helps dispersion and moisture resistance; low loadings in thick parts are usually fine uncoated.

What is the minimum order, sample policy, and delivery term?

A free sample under one tonne is dispatched within 48 hours with a TDS and per-lot COA. The minimum order is one 20-foot container (24 tonnes) at the same per-tonne price as large volumes. The standard term is FOB Haiphong (CFR or CIF on request); payment is 30% by bank transfer, 70% against the bill of lading.

Which countries does Kantor supply, and how is import duty handled?

Kantor supplies compounders and converters across India, Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines. Raw GCC powder (HS 2836.50) ships with the preferential certificate of origin for your market — Form D under ATIGA within ASEAN, or Form AI under the ASEAN–India FTA — which secures the preferential rate (duty-free in most ASEAN markets). We confirm the exact rate for your destination and tariff line before you order.
