Calcite Powder

Calcite powder is a fine, white or light-colored powder that is obtained by grinding natural calcite mineral rocks. Calcite is a calcium carbonate mineral (CaCO3) and is one of the most abundant minerals on Earth. Calcite powder has a wide range of industrial applications due to its unique chemical and physical properties. Calcite powder is available in various particle sizes to suit different applications. Its versatility and range of uses make it a valuable mineral in various industries. When selecting calcite powder for a specific purpose, it’s important to ensure that the quality and composition of the powder meet the requirements of the application. Calcite Powder is a natural form of Calcium Carbonate with extremely high whiteness, purity and free flowing in nature. White Calcite Powder is widely used in plastics as filler, due to its high dispersibility, low oil absorption, high impact resistance, smooth surface finish, easy processing, compatibility with polymers and other organic additives and excellent dimensional stability.
