Features of Calcium Carbonate
Versatility: Versatility is one of the unique features of Calcium Carbonate that allows it to be applied in virtually any industry, from construction to pharmaceuticals.
High Purity: Airotech Minerals guarantees the production of Calcium Carbonate with high levels of purity, which meets the strict quality standards required by various sectors.
Particle Size Control: Our production system provides exact regulation of the particle size of Calcium Carbonate and consequently, uniformity and performance of the end products.
Whiteness and Brightness: Calcium Carbonate displays a superb whiteness and brightness which is perfect for uses with the requirement for aesthetic value like paints and coatings.
Chemical Inertness: Calcium Carbonate is chemically inert and hence it does not react with most substances, making it more stable and suitable to a wide range of industrial processes.
Applications of Calcium Carbonate
Cosmetic Industry: In the cosmetic industry, Calcium Carbonate is of utmost importance as it provides many advantages such as absorbency, opacity, and texture improvement.
Paper Industry: In the paper industry, calcium carbonate is used as a coating pigment and filler, enhancing the brightness, opacity and smoothness of the paper products by reducing the cost of production.
Pharmaceuticals: Calcium Carbonate is utilized in pharmaceutical formulations as an antacid to cure diseases such as acid reflux and heartburn. It also acts as a nutrient giving the body vital calcium.
Plastics and Polymers: As a filler material, Calcium Carbonate (CaCo3) improves the mechanical characteristics of plastics and polymers, providing a rigid, impact-resistant and dimensionally stable finish.
Paints and Coatings: Calcium Carbonate is used in paints and coatings as a pigment and extender, that enhances hiding power, viscosity, and weather resistance and reduces formulation cost.
