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

  • Construction/Architecture

  • 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.
