Calcium Carbonate
Calcium Carbonate is an exceptional mineral Physical Specs : Whiteness : 96%
Brightness : 94%, The chemical formula CaCO3 covers a raw material, which is widespread throughout nature, whether dissolved in rivers and oceans, in molten form as “cold” carbonatite-lava, or solid as a mineral in the form of stalactites, stalagmites or as the major constituent of whole mountain ranges. Plants and animals need calcium carbonate to form their skeletons and shells. In fact, when considering our lives, modern mankind could hardly imagine existing without calcium carbonate. Almost every product in our daily lives either contains calcium carbonate or has some association with
the mineral during its production. The Earth’s crust contains more than 4% calcium
MAIN APPLICATIONS:-
-
Plastics

Coatings
-
Environment
-
Agriculture

Others: Glass, ceramics and blackboard chalk, together
with cleaning, dental care and cosmetic products are
produced by the wide range of industrial manufacturers
who rely on calcium carbonate. As a natural mineral,
calcium carbonate has a multitude of characteristics that
make it an ideal raw material for widely differing uses.
No one calcium carbonate is exactly like another,
whichever property is needed a high grade product is
there to meet the demand. Diverse requirements such as
low iron oxide content for the production of high-quality
glasses, the authorisation for uses in foodstuffs, good
buffering-effect or low abrasion, can be met by an
existing grade of calcium carbonate.
