Calcium Carbonate is used for wide range of applications such as:

  • In Calcium Carbonate is used as an antacid or as a calcium supplement
  • It is also used as filler in cosmetics
  • It is added to swimming pools as a disinfectant agent and a pH corrector
  • It finds extensive usage in the manufacturing industry as a building material (marble), ingredient for quick lime and cement.
  • Calcium carbonate is the most widely used mineral in the paper, plastics, paints and coatings industries both as a filler – and due to its special white colour – as a coating pigment.
  • Calcium carbonate is considered as an additive in the production of pesticides and poultry food. Natural calcium carbonate products are suitable and friendly with the environment.
  • Calcium carbonate forms a kind of internal frame structure in plastic products, and greatly improves the dimensional stability of plastic products. It can improve the product hardness, electrical efficiency, flame retardant performance, heat resistance and treatment performance.
  • Calcium carbonate is widely used when combined with polyethylene resins to manufacture bags, packaging, shopping bags, bags, clothes bags, garbage bags.
  • Using calcium carbonate increases product durability, better dispersion in plastic chemicals, optimal product gloss, and improved production process.
  • Calcium carbonate is widely used when combined with polypropylene with high MI to produce injection moulding of plastic products such as Sheets, hollow boards, 
    household items, and home appliances accessories.
  • Keep containers or bag tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.
  • Wear personal protective equipment. Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Avoid dust formation.

Calcium Carbonate is available in 25kg, 50kg, Jumbo bags and various bag sizes.
