Calcium carbonate is extracted by Umbria Filler in limestone deposits in Italy.
After grinding, particle size selection and chemical-physical processes, calcium carbonate takes on characteristics that allow it to be used as a filler in a variety of objects, many of which are unexpectedly common.

CaCO3 completes the picture and gives substance to products such as paints (glossy, satin, water-repellent), coatings, coverings, tiles, paper pulps, plastics, PVC, making it possible to lower formulation unit costs and keep intact the final characteristics of the product. In some cases, such as in the automotive and construction industries, the distinctive characteristics of the mechanical and dielectric components are enhanced by the use of calcium carbonate.

In symbiosis with nature, we too grow and evolve. Thanks to the Research & Development department and its 40 years of experience, Umbria Filler has been able to transform its skills to adapt to market demands and to select products that comply with new fields of application. Thus techno-fillers were created, the result of innovative production technology. These were then further improved in synergy with the customer’s needs.

Tecno Fillers
The state-of-the-art fillers developed and produced by Umbria Filler have a very high degree of whiteness almost zero abrasiveness, and increased mechanical strength.

Bioplastics
Highly innovative fillers for applications on films, packaging, disposable articles, bio-based and biodegradable solid plastics.

For years UMBRIA FILLER has been committed to ensuring compliance with international standards on Quality, Health, Safety, the Environment and Energy Processes. To this end, it was awarded ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems Certifications in 1992, ISO 14001 Environmental Certifications for plants and quarries in 1998, and the ISO 50001 Energy Certification.
