Product Details
Calcium carbonate CAS#471-34-1 exists naturally in many forms including limestone, marble, chalk and coral. It ranks among the most commonly used raw materials across the chemical industry. Major applications include manufacturing cement, mortars, plasters, refractory materials and glass for construction uses. It is also a key material for producing quicklime, slaked lime and various calcium‑based chemical products. Calcium carbonate is commercially available as ground powder or precipitated calcium carbonate. Precipitated grades feature finer particle size, higher purity and more consistent distribution. Different grades of precipitated calcium carbonate are widely used in textiles, paper, coatings, plastics, adhesives, sealants and cosmetic products.
