Adhesives & Sealants

Precipitated calcium carbonates are used as fillers in adhesives and sealants. However, because of their much smaller sizes they are mainly used as the primary rheological additive in high-performance products. PCC's add reinforcement and make the product stronger.

Food & Pharmaceuticals

PCC's are used as dietary calcium, mostly in liquid products where the very small particle size is valuable. Many medicines and cosmetics contain PCC, as the base material of pills, or for bulking of liquid medicines, ointments or creams. PCC's are used in toothpaste as a viscosity aid and mild abrasive.

Paints & Inks

Precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) is commonly used in paint and inks as extenders to increase opacity and porosity for dry hiding. Formulating flexographic, gravure, lithographic or silk screen printing inks with PCC can improve quality whilst reducing costs.

Paper

PCC is used for similar applications to GCC but the particle size is much finer and more closely controlled, allowing PCC to be used more for paper coating and surface finishing. PCC can be supplied coated with additives to improve gloss or aid bonding within the paper.

Rigid and Plasticized PVC

PCC is used as a fine and very consistently controlled filler/extender, and also to help control flow and moulding characteristics of fine components. PCC also has a significant effect on impact strength in rigid PVC.

Toothpowder / Toothpaste

As essential ingredient in powders and pastes as a cleaning and polishing agent. Used for its abrasive property in Tooth powder / Toothpaste.

Tyre / Tube

Reinforcing filler in natural and synthetic rubber for Tyre/ Tubeapplications as well as slippers, soles, straps to improve strength & impart whiteness while reducing total costs.

Detergents

In Detergents it is used as a carrier and also to improves the water absorbency in powder & protects the skin at the time of use of the same.

Road Construction

In road construction, to improve the quality of excessively plastic subgrade soils.

Fluorides and Chlorides

In the production of metals, lime is injected into the waste gas stream to neutralize acids, such as fluorides and chlorides prior to being released to atmosphere.

Painting and Decorating

For preparation of dry mixes for painting and decorating

Adhesives & Sealants

GCC is often the main ingredient of sealants, fillers and ceramic tile adhesives (CTA's), sometimes up to 80% of the formulation

Animal & Pet Feeds

GCC is incorporated into animal feedstuffs as a dietary supplement and antacid.

Construction

GCC has long been used as a filler in materials like asphalt, roofing felt and plasters. Increasingly other applications are emerging in the new areas of specialist concretes & grouts. Consistent particle size and handling characteristics are very important.

Environment

GCC is a wholly naturally occurring source of alkalinity used for flue gas desuphurisation in power stations, de-acidification of forests and rivers, and drinking water treatment. It can also be used as passive fire protection in hazardous environments, for example coal mines.

Fertilisers

Calcium Carbonate has long been recognised as a useful addition to soil for agriculture, stabilising the acidity of soil and providing essential calcium for support of crops.

Manufacturing of PCC

Manufacturing of PCC and its allied products start with the selection of pure raw materials. Selected raw materials are subjected to cleaning process which includes washing and sorting. Crushing, Burning and after passing number of complex chemically processing steps, it gives the final product and latest technology and manufacturing equipment has improved the quality of the products.

Manufacturing of Calcium Hydroxide

Calcium oxide reacts with water releasing a considerable amount of heat to form calcium hydroxide. CaO + H2O => Ca(OH)2 + heat The reaction requires about 320 gr. water for each kilogram of calcium oxide. Additionally, the heat released by the reaction usually causes a large amount of slaking water to evaporate. In practice, the process is steered so that the amount of water used is exactly equal to that required by the reaction and the subsequent evaporation. The result is a dry, powdery hydrated lime.

Manufacturing of Ground Calcium Carbonate

Normally Ground Calcium Carbonate (Calcite) crushed with the used of primary and secondary crushing plant, our product depends on customer requirement.
