Calcium carbonate and chemical compounds CaCO3 may be the most common in the manufacturing industry, but the quality and purity of calcium carbonate varies according to the industry used and are used in most industries as filler. Our mines are characterized by high quality calcium carbonate and whiteness where 95% Our mine (Waddah 95) has a reserve of over 40 million cubic meters.

Field of Applications:
Calcium carbonate is used in wide range of applications such as paints, coatings, plastics, adhesives, sealants, paper industry, cement, drilling, and glazes.
Calcium carbonate is a chemical compound of formula
CaCO3, in white powder form.
Calcium carbonate is practically undissolved in water
(only 1.4 mg per 100 ml of water). But if the water contains carbon
dioxide, the dissolution of calcium carbonate in the water increases due to the formation of
bicarbonate.Calcium carbonate is rapidly degraded due to the effect of acids on it, as it liberates
carbon dioxide.
Calcium carbonate, or CaCO3, comprises more than 4% of the earths crust and is found throughout the world. Its most common natural forms are chalk, limestone, and marble, produced by the sedimentation of the shells of small fossilized snails, shellfish, and coral over millions of years. Although all three forms are identical in chemical terms, they differ in many other respects, including purity, whiteness, thickness and homogeneity. Calcium carbonate is one of the most useful and versatile materials known to man.
Uses
Paper, Plastics, Paints, and Coatings: Calcium carbonate is the most widely used mineral in the paper, plastics, paints and coatings industries both as a filler and due to its special white color - as a coating pigment. In the paper industry it is valued worldwide for its high brightness and light scattering characteristics, and is used as an inexpensive filler to make bright opaque paper. Filler is used at the wet-end of paper making machines, and calcium carbonate filler allows for the paper to be bright and smooth. As an extender, calcium carbonate can represent as much as 30% by weight in paints. Calcium carbonate also is used widely as a filler in adhesives, and sealants.
Personal Health and Food Production: Calcium carbonate is used widely as an effective dietary calcium supplement, antacid, phosphate binder, or base material for medicinal tablets. It also is found on many grocery store shelves in products such as baking powder, toothpaste, dry-mix dessert mixes, dough, and wine. Calcium carbonate is the active ingredient in agricultural lime, and is used in animal feed. Calcium carbonate also benefits the environment through water and waste treatment.
Building Materials and Construction: Calcium carbonate is critical to the construction industry, both as a building material in its own right (e.g. marble), and as an ingredient of cement. It contributes to the making of mortar used in bonding bricks, concrete blocks, stones, roofing shingles, rubber compounds, and tiles. Calcium carbonate decomposes to form carbon dioxide and lime, an important material in making steel, glass, and paper. Because of its antacid properties, calcium carbonate is used in industrial settings to neutralize acidic conditions in both soil and water
