Calcite Suppliers and Manufacturers

Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed primarily of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in the form of the mineral calcite. It often contains other minerals, such as clay, dolomite, and silic Appearance: Limestone can vary in color from white and gray to tan, brown, and even black. Its appearance can be influenced by impurities, organic materials, and the type of minerals present. Uses: Construction: Limestone is widely used as a building material for flooring, walls, and facades due to its durability and aesthetic appeal. Industry: It is used in various industries, such as cement production, where it serves as a key ingredient in the manufacturing of Portland cement. Agriculture: Limestone is used to improve soil quality by neutralizing acidity, providing essential nutrients like calcium, and promoting plant growth. Chemical Industry: It is used in the production of lime, which has applications in various chemical processes.

Specifications Products : Ground Calcium Carbonate Use ; Industrial Use Color : White Form : Powder Packing Type : Plastic Bags Packing Size : 50kgs Purity : 90-99% Whiteness : 88 - 96% Ground Calcium Carbonate Calcium Carbonate is composed of the crystalline mineral, calcite, which occurs naturally in the form of chalk, marble, dolomite or lime stone. Chalk is formed by shells of Nanofossils that is a fine micro crystalline material. Other forms of calcite are also of biogenic origin but more compacted than chalk. Marble deposits are limestone changed by crystallization under conditions of extreme heat and pressure. In some cases, is process yields pure marble of exceptional whiteness. Good quality marble and dolomite deposits are available in the state of Rajasthan (India). High quality stones are manually selected at the mines and after its purity tests, these are sent to the processing centre. During the process the stones are washed to remove impurities. These stones are crushed and grinded as per the customers' requirement. The powder is further processed to micronize varying micron size up to 5 microns top cut. After micronizing it is subject to a process of unique surface coating with fatty acids or suitable coupling agents. The coated products become hydrophobic which increase the compatibility with polymers and other organic based Additives. The processing techniques at PEEKAY MINERALS ensures consistent quality, control of top-cut and average particle size and freedom from impurities at pocket friendly costs. On demand at PKM coated Ground Calcium Carbonate is made available. Coating with Stearic acid or Titanates coupling agent is being carried as per choice of end users. Application: Paints & Powder coatings Paper & Boards Printing Inks PP, LLDPE and LDP compounds PVC master batches and compound Features: Free from impurities Less Reactive Good dispersion Unique particle size Improved brightness and opacity Good Mechanical and flow properties
