Calcium Carbonate Powder

Ground Calcium Carbonate Powder is a natural forms of chalk and limestone which is formed by the grounding of the sedimentation shells of small fossilized snails, shellfish, and coral with the help of a grinding machine to make a fine powder. It is widely used for many industrial purposes like the preparation of the builder's lime, as a pH corrector, stabilizing agent in drilling fluids and many other. It can also be used in medical applications to relieve heartburn, acid indigestion, and upset stomach.

Occurs in three natural forms such as lime stone, chalk and Marble. The chemical formula of calcium carbonate is CaCO₃. Naturally its forms between the reactions of calcium, salt and carbon dioxide. this process is still going on in the oceans .Calcium carbonate that have the high purity, degree of whiteness and homogeneity are acceptable is commercial extraction worthwhile.

After quarrying further treatment is required to process natural calcium carbonate of high quality ,known generically as Ground calcium carbonate( GCC). Ground calcium carbonate is manufactured by grinding lime stone or marble because of their high brightness and purity. These automated processes have been developed and continuously improved in-house for decades and this outstanding experience guarantees that particle size distribution and brightness are perfectly adapted to the application.

Calcium carbonate powder of epic is one of the additives and popular materials Used in a variety of Application such as a - filler masterbatch, paints, paper, rigid pvc pipe, plastics, Rubber pigments, ceramics & glass and construction chemicals
