Calcium Carbonate is the most common mineral used as a filler that has vast application scope, its usage is inevitable in many modern industries. Looking at the ever-growing demand for this product, we have grown and established our self as one of the premium providers of ground calcium carbonate powder. Our focus is to provide Calcium Carbonate to following industries as per their customised requirements: industries like Paints, coatings, inks / PVC extrusions
Plasticized & rigid PVC, unsaturated polyesters, polypropylene & polyethylene / Adhesives, Bitumen, caulks, sealants / Rubber - flooring products, Poultry feed as a calcium source, Foamed latex carpet-backings / GRC etc.
Calcium carbonate is a chemical compound with the formula CaCO3. It is a common substance found in rocks as theminerals calcite and aragonite (most notably as limestone) and is the main component of pearls and the shells of marine organisms, snails, and eggs. Calcium carbonate is the active ingredient in agricultural lime and is created when calcium ions in hard water react with carbonate ions to create limescale. It is medicinally used as a calcium supplement or as an antacid, but excessive consumption can be hazardous.

Calcium carbonate mud (carb-cake) is pressed, washed, and squeezed under pressure in fully automatic mud presses to reduce its sugar and moisture content, the produced press mud contains around 25%
moisture (w/w) as measured by loss on drying (LOD).
The resulting mud press looks like aggregates of small gravels thatâ??s composed of microcin sized crystals.
The Flow characteristics of such aggregates are very poor and makes it difficult to fill the trailer of
disposal truck which requires more journeys to dispose the whole quantity.

Dried Carbo-cake converts it into free-flowing powder with a bulk density of 1.1 and reduced weight in
total resulting in reduction moisture to less than 5% and increasing its flowability characteristics
Areas of application
Concrete ready mix
Filler in paper industry
Filler in plastic manufacturing
Filler in concrete mix to adjust some physical and chemical properties
