Calcium Carbonate

Calcium Carbonate is a white, odorless, and tasteless mineral. It is naturally found in limestone, marble, and chalk.Applications:Plastics and Rubber Industry: Used as a filler to enhance the hardness and durability of products.Paper and Paint Industry: Serves as a whitening and opacifying agent.Construction Sector: Used as an additive in cement, plaster, and building materials.Food and Pharmaceuticals: Used as a food additive (E170) and as an antacid.Cosmetics: Used as a filler and whitening agent in powders, lotions, and creams.When the surface of calcium carbonate is coated with stearic acid, it becomes hydrophobic (water-repellent). This provides several advantages:Improved compatibility with plastics and polymers,Enhanced dispersibility and processability,Resistance to moisture, leading to increased product lifespan.It is especially preferred in PVC, cables, hoses, and automotive parts.
