Calcium Carbonate

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.

Calcium Carbonate is an exceptional mineral with Physical Specs: Whiteness: 96%, Brightness: 94%.

The main application of calcium carbonate are Plastics, Coatings, Environment, Agriculture, Construction/Architecture, and Others: Glass, ceramics, and blackboard chalk, together with cleaning, dental care, and cosmetic products are produced by a 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 authorization for uses in foodstuffs, good buffering effect, or low abrasion can be met by an existing grade of calcium carbonate.
