STONE PAPER (5 TPD)
[EIRI/EDPR/4704] J.C.: 2924XL

"Stone paper" is also known as rock paper, paper from waste marble, mineral
paper, or rich mineral paper. Stone paper is a product resembling paper. It is
strong and durable; made from calcium carbonate with a binder of high density
polyethylene (HDPE).

Stone paper is a term that describes a number of formulas for papermaking which
basically contain calcium carbonate which can come from waste rock, marble and
tiles, not from plant fibers. The main content of rock paper is calcium carbonate
which comes from stone (rock); so that stone paper is sometimes also called rock
paper. Stone paper is made from stone which is crushed into powder form, mixed
with a non-toxic and recyclable binder, i.e. HDPE.

Stone paper containing 80% limestone and 20% recycled polyethylene have been
produced by a printing industry in Germany. The mixture of raw materials used
are claimed environmentally friendly and can be used for several printed products
such as posters, leaflets, up to bag products, and used by farmers for labels and
coatings of pot. This paper can be used as a substitute for polypropylene because
it is more water resistant, ultra violet (UV) resistant, with high tear strength, even
higher than ordinary paper. In addition, stone paper can be even written when it
is in wet condition.

Rock paper is claimed to be very environmentally friendly paper. It is different
from conventional paper because it does not use wood pulp as its raw material.
The technology for making stone paper is also claimed not to pollute air and
water; no chlorine or acid compounds used, and the resulting stone paper is really
non-toxic and even food safe. It is also believed that the stone paper production
process improves air, soil and water quality, and reduces energy consumption.
