Calcium Carbonate / Calcite Limestone
Formula : CaCO3
Description
In its natural state, Calcium Carbonate occurs as chalk, limestone, and marble. Calcium Carbonate is commonly known as Calcite. RMCL's Calcium Carbonate is mined with an average purity of 98.5%. We specialize in customizing varied grades of Calcium Carbonates with purity ranging from 90% to 98.5%, with diverse mesh and particle sizes tailored to meet specific client requirements.
Industries We Serve
- Adhesives: Used in wide range of trade and do it yourself adhesives, sealants, and decorating fillers.
- Cables Industry: Is used to improve mechanical properties.
- Ceramic Industry: Is a common ingredient for many glazes in its white powdered form.
- Cleaning: Is an abrasive, for ceramics, enamel, bronze, iron and steel. A paste made from calcium carbonate and deionised water can be used to clean tarnish on silver.
- Construction: As a raw material for building materials, as an ingredient of cement and lime aggregates used for road building material.
- Environmental Applications: It is added to neutralize the effects of acid rain in river ecosystems and is used to neutralize acidic conditions in both soil and water.
