Calcite is a rock-forming mineral with a chemical formula of CaC03. It is extremely common and found throughout the world in sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous rocks. Some geologists consider it to be a ubiquitous mineral. Calcite Powder is a natural form of Calcium Carbonate with extremely high whiteness, purity and free flowing in nature.

USES OF CALCITE POWDER
PLASTICS:
Due to higher levels of brightness and best lustre the calcite extracted here is best suited for plastic industries and products as master batch/PVCP pipes/etc.
PAPER:
It�¢??s a growing industry for calcium carbonate. These days soapstone and calcite are used simultaneously in paper industry. Lesser abrasion index makes it best suitable for paper.
PHARMACEUTICALS:
After proper treatments this material can be used for pharmaceuticals and food grade industry. Also huge intake in FMCG (edible)is there for this product.
CATTLEFEED AND PESTICIDES:
This product has a huge demand in this industry as it is a good carrying agent.
Calcite Powder is a naturally occurring form of Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) with an extremely high degree of whiteness, purity. Calcite Powder is extensively utilized as a filler in the manufacturing of plastics owing to its low oil absorption, high dispersibility, smooth surface finish, high impact resistance, easy processing, unmatched dimensional stability, and its compatibility with other complex polymers and organic additives.
