Calcium Carbonate

Description

Calcium carbonate is a chemical compound with the formula CaCO₃. It’s a common substance found in rocks as the minerals calcite and aragonite (most notably limestone, which contains both minerals). It is the main component of pearls and the shells of marine organisms, snails, and eggs.

This white, odourless, and tasteless powder has a crystalline structure and is poorly soluble in water, but it reacts vigorously with acids to produce carbon dioxide. Its unique properties, such as high brightness, opacity, and ability to act as a filler, make it suitable for various applications.

Catering to specific industrial needs, we offer Calcium Carbonate in various particle sizes and crystal forms, including calcite, aragonite, and vaterite. Available in various packaging options from small-scale to bulk quantities, accommodating specific business requirements and ensuring product integrity during transport.

Key features

  1. Cost-Effectiveness: As a filler material, calcium carbonate can reduce overall costs by replacing more expensive components without compromising quality. This makes it an economically attractive option for manufacturers.
  2. High Purity and Quality: We offer high-purity calcium carbonate that ensures product performance, critical in industries like pharmaceuticals and food production, where quality is paramount.
  3. Environmental Friendliness: Calcium carbonate is a naturally occurring mineral with minimal environmental impact, making it an appealing choice for eco-conscious businesses.
  4. Stability and Safety: Being a chemically inert substance, calcium carbonate is stable under various conditions and is non-toxic, making it safe for a wide range of applications, including food and medicine.
  5. Enhanced Product Properties: In manufacturing, calcium carbonate can improve the mechanical properties of products, like increasing the toughness and brightness of paper or the strength and durability of plastics.
  6. Impact on End Products: In many applications, calcium carbonate contributes to the enhanced performance and aesthetic appeal of end products.

Applications

  • Industrial Applications: It’s widely used in the construction industry as a building material (limestone block) and an ingredient in cement.
  • Manufacturing: Paper, plastic, glass, and other materials are used as fillers due to their low cost and white colour.
  • Agriculture: Used as a soil conditioner and animal feed additive.
  • Food and Pharmaceuticals: As a calcium supplement, antacid, or base material for medicinal tablets. It’s also used as a food preservative and colour retainer.
  • Cosmetics and Personal Care Products: It’s used in toothpaste, as a mild abrasive, and in some cosmetics.
