Calcite is the most widely available mineral found within our planetâ??s crust. It is the main component found in limestone and marble. It is also used as a building material, as an abrasive, as a construction aggregate and as a pigment. It is also used in agricultural soil treatment.
We source and manufacture our calcite mineral majorly from the regions of Rajasthan as it is the biggest source, followed by Andhra Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh.
The physical properties of calcite are softness with a value of 3 on the Mohs scale, high lustre, lower specific gravity and rhombohedral cleavage. Calcite differs from dolomite as its fragments effervesce readily in cold hydrochloric acid, whereas dolomite fragments do not.
Calcite is one of the most popular and functional minerals due to its ease in availability and strong functional properties. It is widely used in several industries such as paper, paint, ceramic, automobile, plastics, agriculture, glass, coal, construction, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals to name a few.
Calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). It is a very common mineral, particularly as a component of limestone.
We use calcite as filler and coating material for quality paper packaging in the paper industry. It makes the paper surface hardened and smoothed. It also aids in the fast drying of the final paper product as it absorbs the oil rapidly. Further, in the paint and coating sector, our calcite mineral is used to replace pigment and protect steel from corrosion. It also provides improved water and chemical resistance.
In the ceramic industry, calcite increases the strength of ceramic products. It is added to the tile slurry during the tile manufacturing process to remove the negative effects of SiO2 in the medium. Furthermore, in the construction sector, calcite is used in the manufacturing of cement and concrete as limestone and marble.
In the coal mining sector, calcite is used to keep coal dust from exploding and spreading into flames. It also plays a significant role in hard water treatment. Calcite eliminates any hardness present in the water, cleans the water and controls the color of the water. In the leather industry, it is used in the pre-process of leather by aiding in removing the animal hair.
Our CMC products are suited for a wide range of applications since they are derivatives of a naturally occurring raw material and have high degree of purity. They are manufactured with cutting-edge technology and are subjected to rigorous quality control methods.
Due to its vast use in a variety of sectors, calcite is unquestionably the most popular and usable mineral. We manufacture calcite minerals using innovative technology and highly skilled manpower to ensure that all of our customers' end-product requirements get satisfied.
Our company is the most celebrated exporter, supplier and manufacturer of Pigment Emulsions. Based in Mumbai, Maharashtra you can use our pigments for Textile Printing. It can be best printed in combination with binder SLN/SFN on cotton, viscose, Nylon fabrics polyester and their blends. In order to attain high degree of fastness properties on synthetic fabrics, we recommend the use of fixer. Our pigment emulsion is based on the oil in water based emulsion system. The key ingredients of the paste that you can avail from us are Acid Liberating agents as catalysts, Binder and Kerosene or mineral turpentine or synthetic thickeners.
Info :
