Calcite is the most widely available mineral found within our planetâ??s crust. It is the main component found in limestone and marble. It is also used as a building material, as an abrasive, as a construction aggregate and as a pigment. It is also used in agricultural soil treatment. We source and manufacture our calcite mineral majorly from the regions of Rajasthan as it is the biggest source, followed by Andhra Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. The physical properties of calcite are softness with a value of 3 on the Mohs scale, high lustre, lower specific gravity and rhombohedral cleavage. Calcite differs from dolomite as its fragments effervesce readily in cold hydrochloric acid, whereas dolomite fragments do not. Calcite is one of the most popular and functional minerals due to its ease in availability and strong functional properties. It is widely used in several industries such as paper, paint, ceramic, automobile, plastics, agriculture, glass, coal, construction, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals to name a few. Calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). It is a very common mineral, particularly as a component of limestone. We use calcite as filler and coating material for quality paper packaging in the paper industry. It makes the paper surface hardened and smoothed. It also aids in the fast drying of the final paper product as it absorbs the oil rapidly. Further, in the paint and coating sector, our calcite mineral is used to replace pigment and protect steel from corrosion. It also provides improved water and chemical resistance. In the ceramic industry, calcite increases the strength of ceramic products. It is added to the tile slurry during the tile manufacturing process to remove the negative effects of SiO2 in the medium. Furthermore, in the construction sector, calcite is used in the manufacturing of cement and concrete as limestone and marble. In the coal mining sector, calcite is used to keep coal dust from exploding and spreading into flames. It also plays a significant role in hard water treatment. Calcite eliminates any hardness present in the water, cleans the water and controls the color of the water. In the leather industry, it is used in the pre-process of leather by aiding in removing the animal hair. Our CMC products are suited for a wide range of applications since they are derivatives of a naturally occurring raw material and have high degree of purity. They are manufactured with cutting-edge technology and are subjected to rigorous quality control methods. Due to its vast use in a variety of sectors, calcite is unquestionably the most popular and usable mineral. We manufacture calcite minerals using innovative technology and highly skilled manpower to ensure that all of our customers' end-product requirements get satisfied.

Dolomite: Dolomite a common sedimentary rock-forming mineral that can be found in massive beds several hundred feet thick. They are found all over the world and are quite common in sedimentary rock sequences. These rocks are called appropriately enough dolomitic limestone. Applications: - Dolomite is chosen for many construction and building product applications due to its increased hardness and density. - Asphalt and concrete applications prefer dolomite as filler for its higher strength and hardness. - Dolomite also finds use in a number of applications as a source of magnesium such as glass and ceramics manufacture, as well as a sintering agent in iron ore - Palletization and as a flux agent in steel making. - Farmers use dolomite for agricultural pH control. - The chemical industry uses the mineral dolomite in making magnesium salts including magnesia, magnesium oxide (MgO), which is used in pharmaceuticals.

We offer the best prices for our buyers. PACKAGING & DELIVERY Packaging Details: LUMS/Chips Port: Lagos Apapa Port, Nigeria Bags: 50 kg Container: 20 ft Lead time: Quantity (metric tons) 20 MT/Month 200MT/Month (Lead days) 30 Days 30 Days COMPOSITION ANALYSIS OF THE MONAZITE ORE Element Percentage Cerium 40-55% Lanthanum 30-45% Thorium 1-2% Uranium 0.05-0.2% Other elements 0-10% It is important to note that monazite ore is a radioactive mineral. The level of radioactivity in monazite ore depends on the thorium and content. Monazite ore containing high levels of thorium and should be handled cautiously. Monazite ore composition varies slightly based on the source and what region of Nigeria it is collected. We encourage buyers to ask for a free sample for their composition analysis and evaluation of ready-to-ship material. Samples are free, but buyers should arrange to pick up a free piece with a courier service.

Commodity 1 has competitive prices for ilmenite sand. Most often, we have the best prices available in the marketplace.. Commodity 1 provides these products directly from the mines to the global market. There are no middlemen involved, only our staff on the ground. The origin of our ilmenite sand is Nigeria, which has a total reserve estimated to be between 200 and 240 million tons and is one of the largest ilmenite producers in the world. These ilmenite deposits are usually found in beach sand and deposits. Ilmenite is a source of titanium dioxide, a white pigment used in various products, including paints, plastics, paper, and food. Titanium dioxide is also used to manufacture sunscreen and other personal care products. Commodity 1 has a team of experienced in-house professionals who strive to organize smooth and transparent transactions. We believe in building long-term relationships with our customers.
