Applications of calcium carbonate
Who We Are?
The main applications of this compound are in building materials, ceramic tiles, iron ore refining, oil well drilling fluids, paints, adhesives and sealants. It is used in the production of antacids, calcium supplements, tablets and hemodialysis treatment.
Calcium carbonate is widely used as a filler in various industries, including natural powders, sedimentary products and dolomite.
The most important uses for precipitated calcium carbonate are: paper, paints and plastic surface coatings, adhesives, puttying materials, polymers, chemical fertilizers, animal feed, food industries, pharmaceutical industries, cosmetics industries, insecticides and pesticides, cleaners, glass and ceramics, gas desulfurization and water purification. This mineral is widely used in the form of crystal powder in various meshes in industry and agriculture.
Paint industry: Calcium carbonate, as a filler, increases the intensity and reflectivity of the color and also increases the gloss of the color. In the paint industry, adding calcium carbonate to the paint increases its volume, resulting in savings in paint use and improved coverage.
Polycarbonate pipe industry: Calcium carbonate increases physical strength and high resilience in the polyvinyl chloride industry and is used as a cost-effective filler. Mesh 800-1500 is the most suitable calcium carbonate powder in this industry.
Paper industry: Calcium carbonate is used as a filler in paper production. It significantly reduces wood consumption and production costs. It plays an effective role in the whiteness of paper. In the stone paper industry, calcium carbonate powder with a mesh size of 2500 to 3500 is used.
Cable wire wall covering and UPVC profile industry: Calcium carbonate is the cheapest filler in this industry that strengthens the properties of the polymer chain and has good flexibility properties in the polyvinyl chloride industry. Calcium carbonate powder mesh 800-1500 is suitable for this industry.
Poultry feed: Calcium is one of the important elements in the life of organisms, which plays a role in the formation of bones in the biological process of organisms. Today, calcium carbonate is used as a food supplement for livestock and poultry. Calcium carbonate is used in the form of powder and granules in this industry.
Agricultural industry: Calcium carbonate has alkaline properties and is used in acidic soils to increase the PH of the soil. Calcium carbonate is used in soil tillage operations in granular or powdered form.
Artificial leather industries: Calcium carbonate is used in this case as an external surface brightener and to maintain the white color. It also has low-elasticity properties.
Plastics and paint industries: Dispersant and strengthening agent, increasing strength, durability, and resistance
Construction industries: Dispersant in concrete, cement, mortar, plaster, and reproof materials
Papermaking industries: Dispersant and coating agent for paper surfaces, improving quality, reducing costs, and increasing whiteness
Pharmaceutical industries: Calcium supplement
