1. Product Overview
Ground Calcium Carbonate (GCC) is a naturally occurring mineral obtained from high-purity
limestone or marble. It is mechanically ground into fine powder without changing its chemical
structure. GCC is widely used in various industrial applications due to its excellent physical and
chemical properties.
2. Chemical & Physical Properties
Chemical Formula: CaCO
Purity: Typically & 98%
Color: White to off-white
Particle Size: Available in different micron sizes (5 µm to 50 µm or more)
Specific Gravity: ~2.7 g/cm
Bulk Density: 0.8 - 1.2 g/cm (varies with fineness)
Moisture Content: 0.2%
pH: ~8-9
Oil Absorption: Low
3. Industrial Applications
Plastics & Polymers
Used as a filler to improve mechanical properties and reduce costs in PVC pipes, cables,
and plastic films.
Paints & Coatings
Enhances opacity, brightness, and weather resistance in paints, coatings, and adhesives.
Paper Industry
Used as a filler to improve paper brightness, smoothness, and printability.
Rubber Industry
Increases strength, durability, and elasticity in rubber products like tires, belts, and hoses.
Construction & Cement
Improves strength and workability in cement, concrete, and adhesives.
Ceramics & Glass
Acts as a fluxing agent to enhance durability and shine in ceramic and glass manufacturing.
Pharmaceuticals & Food (if food-grade GCC)
Used as a calcium supplement and anti-caking agent in tablets, toothpaste, and food
products.
4. Packaging & Storage
Packaging: 25 kg & 50 kg bags, jumbo bags (500-1000 kg), or customized packaging.
Storage: Store in a dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight.
Bentonite as is a particular kind of clay derived from volcanic ash and consists mainly of montmorillonite with minor amount of illite, kaolinite, cristobalite and other minerals. Bentonite has strong colloidal properties and, when in contact with water, increases its volume several fold by swelling, forming a tixotropic, gelatinous substance. Main uses of Bentonite take advantage of these colloidal properties. The main characteristics of Bentonite is its decolorizing power, that is the property of the earth to absorb selectively certain pigments rather than others according to the characteristics of the product to be decolourized(acidity, oxidation degree, origin and biological state etc.)
APPLICATIONS
For Drilling Fluids
Pilling
Binder (e.g. foundry-sand bond, iron ore pelletizer)
Purifier
Electrical Earthing
Agriculture
Cosmetics, Paper, Paints and Ceramics
Absorbent (e.g. pet litter), and
As a Groundwater Barrier.
We CEMENTATION acquire own mines for Bentonite in India. We supply Bentonite for industrial, manufacturing, construction and drilling applications. Our production or supply capacity is more than 250,000 TPA.
At CEMENTATION a special attention is given while mining Bentonite as the materials physical and chemical properties are depended upon the interference of the other metal ions present in the soil.
Once the material sourced from mines are transferred to our factory and are left for drying in an open land to reduce moisture up to the desired level. After the drying process and other checks are done our skilled manpower will do a sorting of the material and then after the material goes to pulverizes for grinding to desired mesh size and are packed according to customers requirement. Our laboratories are well equipped to meet the needs of the diverse markets we serve.
