Calcium carbonate at work where you might not expect it
The everyday wonders of modern life result from many different techniques and materials.
Flexible sealants containing Viscolite series and Hakuenkas are one of the hidden elements that have helped expand the horizons of modern architecture and industrial design.
Broad variety of sealant applications
Flexible sealants are used as the moveable joints of high-rise buildings, airplane bodies, ships and marine structures; in joints between precast concrete slabs, around window frames and to fill cracks in concrete; as well as in automobile and container seals.
Dimensional stability, uniform dispersion and reliable consistency are the invisible properties that make Shiraishi calcium carbonates ideal for flexible, waterproof, airtight sealants and caulking materials.
Paving the way for futuristic technology
Industrial robots are transforming the face of industry, with automobile assembly lines in the vanguard.
The robots that perform critical automotive sealing jobs could not exist without the nearly perfect particle consistency of sealants loaded with calcium carbonate.
Our developed calcium carbonate products give optimum rheology to sealants and adhesives suitable for robot working and contribute to achieve no-human operation and increasing the production effectiveness.
