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.
🔹 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.
- 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.
