Product Overview
Calcium Carbonate Microparticles with a size of about 6 µm are finely milled particles of naturally occurring calcium carbonate. These microparticles harness the intrinsic properties of calcium carbonate, like high brightness and whiteness, while providing a balance between fineness and manageability.
Key factor
- Particle Size: Approximately 6 micrometers in diameter.
- High Purity: Composed of high-purity calcium carbonate.
- Stability: Offers excellent stability under a variety of environmental conditions.
- Versatility: Suitable for a range of industrial and commercial applications.
Applications
- Paints and Coatings: Enhances the opacity and whiteness of paints, improving aesthetic and protective properties.
- Paper Production: Acts as a filler to increase the whiteness and brightness of paper products.
- Plastics Industry: Used as a filler to improve the mechanical properties like stiffness and impact strength of plastic composites.
- Pharmaceuticals: Utilized as an inert filler in tablets and as an antacid for pH regulation.
- Agriculture: Serves as a soil amendment to correct acid soil conditions.
Advantages
- Optimal Size for Diverse Uses: Ideal for formulations where a finely ground, but not nanoscale, particle size is needed.
- Enhanced Opacity and Brightness: Provides superior opacity and brightness, beneficial for paints and coatings.
- Environmental Safety: Non-toxic and environmentally benign, enabling usage in diverse settings.
- Cost-Effective: Offers a cost-efficient alternative to synthetic or more processed materials.
