Ceresana study says paper industry is biggest buyer of filler materials in Western Europe

摘要

Fillers make many products not only cheaper; they also often improve their properties like rigidity, weather resistance or electrical conductivity. German market research institute Ceresana has for the first time published a study of the European market for filler materials. According to the study, consumption of ground calcium carbonate (GCC), precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC), kaolin, talc, carbon black and other filler materials in Europe is likely to increase to around 18 million t by 2026.
