Calcite, chemically CaC03, is considered "ubiquitous mineral" - one that is found everywhere. It is extremely common and found throughout the world in sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks and also in form of limestone and marble.
• High brightness
• Blocky particle shape
• High purity
• Thermal conductivity
• Insoluble in water
• Alkaline
• Higher impact strength
• Excellent dimensional stability
We manufacture the best quality Calcite in a wide range of finesses for various industries, as it is one of the most useful and versatile minerals on the earth.
Calcite is one of the basic raw materials in adhesive and sealant formulation as it is relatively soft and insoluble mineral that is used to improve rheological properties, improve whiteness and opacity and thus reduces cost and control shrinkage.
This industry is primary consumer of Calcite powder used primarily as construction aggregates, and in production of lime and cement. These are easily mixed, transported, and placed in the form of a slurry that will harden into a durable construction material. Concrete is used to make buildings, highways, bridges, walls, and many other structures.
Powdered calcite is often used as a white pigment or "whiting “ in paints which act as cost effective multifunctional fillers. It is a primary ingredient in whitewash, and it is used as an inert colouring ingredient of paint.
Calcite is widely used as an effective dietary supplement , antacid, bone-building mineral, calcium in the production of food and beverages. It is an ingredient in agricultural lime and also in animal feed.
It is critical and functional mineral for plastics and principal filler used by polymer industry. It is inexpensive and can be used at high loadings. It is generally used as an extender; however, it can improve stiffness and impact strength, especially with fine particle grades.
Calcite is used as filler which improves brightness and opacity. It is renowned worldwide for its high brightness and light scattering characteristics which enhances the printability of the finished paper.
Calcium carbonate rock dust is commonly applied to the roof, ribs, and floor of coal mines to help prevent explosions from propagating through a mine. When explosion occurs, the rock dust disperses in the air along with the coal dust, neutralizing the combustible coal dust.
