Calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate CaCO3 It is a common mineral that is used as a component of limestone Applications Abrasive Agricultural soil treatment Pharmaceutical

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.

Features Of Calcite Calcite is carbonate and is generally white in colour. Calcite is a common constituent of sedimentary rocks, limestone in particular. It has the same chemical formula as other calcium carbonate based minerals like Limestone and marbles. Calcite, like most carbonates, will dissolve with most forms of acid. Calcite can be either dissolved by groundwater or precipitated by groundwater, depending on several factors including the water temperature and pH.
