All grades are available from 300 Mesh to 2 Microns upto 99% Whiteness & Purity
Calcite for paint industry
For paint and coating industry we have specially developed different grades which contributes in increasing opacity to the paint. Moreover it improves weather resistance, Anticorrosion and rheological properties with low Abrasiveness in the architectural /decorative coatings. We also offer high brightness calcite powder for ceiling paints where high dry hiding is important.
Using calcite in paint has many benefits
- High opacity
- High whiteness
- High dispersion
- Greater covering
- Cost effective.
Suggested Grades: CALCITE K-4 : K-5 : 1015-K : 1020 : S-2 : 1010-W : KC-2V
Calcite for polymer industry
Calcite is used as filler in the production of all major synthetic polymers that make plastic namely polypropylene, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, ethylene vinyl acetate. These polymers have various applications like in bags, pipes, automotive parts, furniture, containers etc. High whiteness and high purity of calcium carbonate is a must for this industry So, Keeping in mind all the application we offer calcite powder which is very much compatible with the material.
Coated calcite is also available for reducing moisture and easy processing in plastic industry
Using calcite in plastic has many benefits
- High whiteness
- High dispersibilty
- Low oil absorption
- Excellent dimensional stability
- High impact strenght.
Suggested Grades: CALCITE K-5 : WW : 1020 : S-2 : 1010-W : KC-2V
: 15-C : KP02TCalcite Powder is integral to numerous industries, including paints, plastics, ceramics, rubbers, adhesives, and paper. Its chemical inertness, whiteness, and high mechanical strength make it highly desirable for enhancing material stability, surface finish, and durability in end-use products. As a basic raw material in India and worldwide, it meets demanding industrial standards.
Outstanding Physical PropertiesExhibiting low thermal conductivity, negligible water absorption, and smooth texture, Calcite Powder ensures reliable performance across a range of environments. Its fine granulometry and low porosity contribute to excellent dimensional stability and adaptability in various manufacturing processes, from extrusion to coating applications.
