Industry Applications
Applications of Calcium Carbonate (CaCO₃) Powder
Paint Industry
Calcium carbonate powder serves as a cost-effective filler in both solvent-based and water-based paints, with up to 50% usage in solvent-based and 70% in water-based formulations. The fineness and particle size distribution significantly influence the coverage and overall performance of coatings.
Our high-purity calcium carbonate powder enhances both water-based and solvent-based paints with the following features:
-
High gloss finish, low oil absorbance, and excellent spreading ability
-
Reduced wear and low electrolyte content
-
pH balancing properties
-
Improved anti-corrosion and rheological characteristics


Paper Industry
In the paper industry, our high-whiteness calcium carbonate powder is used as a filler in alkaline paper production or as a coating pigment to enhance brightness and opacity. It serves as a more effective and cost-efficient optical brightener compared to clay.
Our calcium carbonate powder reduces the need for wood, thus lowering production costs while enhancing durability and increasing whiteness. Additionally, it helps reduce environmental pollution and minimizes exposure to corrosive acids.


Plastic Industry
Calcium carbonate powder is one of the most widely used mineral fillers in the plastics industry, offering opacity and surface gloss that improve the finish and rigidity of plastic products.
In PVC applications, calcium carbonate is used in both flexible compounds, such as tubing, wire, and cable insulation, and rigid compounds, like extruded pipes, conduits, and window profiles. Our high-quality calcium carbonate enhances polymer processing by enabling faster heating and cooling, which leads to reduced energy costs and improved production efficiency. Moreover, it provides a more economical alternative to polymer resins.


Pharmaceutical Industry
Calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) is a common color additive in the pharmaceutical industry and serves as an essential active ingredient. It is also used as a dietary supplement for individuals who need additional calcium intake.
Calcium plays a critical role in maintaining healthy bones, muscles, the nervous system, and the heart. In addition, calcium carbonate acts as an effective antacid, offering relief from heartburn, acid indigestion, and upset stomachs.
