Micronized calcium carbonate powder
Calcium carbonate is an exceptional mineral that comprises more than 4% of the earth's crust and is found all over the world. Calcium carbonate is one of the most widely used substances known to mankind.And it is used as a filler in various industries.
Fillers are substances that are added to liquids and solids to make one or more changes in the form of increased mechanical strength and plasticity.
Calcium carbonate as a product is very important in various industries, the application of this product has been expanded in a wide range of different industries and it has become one of the important raw materials. Various industries require different granulations of micronized calcium carbonate.

Properties of calcium carbonate
The first property of calcium carbonate powder is its ability to disinfect. Due to their antibacterial effect, these compounds have many applications in various industries, such that they are used in the production of detergent products, medical disinfectants, and in some cases, surface coatings.
The second property of calcium carbonate powder is the ability to absorb moisture. Based on research, these compounds have the ability to absorb moisture due to their complex structure, and their capacity to absorb water and air is higher than other chemical compounds. These properties make calcium carbonate powder used as a moisture absorbent in various industries.
The third property of calcium carbonate powder is its ability to be used in the production of polymer products. Due to having good mechanical and electrical properties, these compounds are used as one of the raw materials for the production of polymer products

Benefits of calcium carbonate
The carbonates in this powder are not harmful to humans and other living organisms
Reduces plastic production
In cases where calcium carbonate is used in the product, there is no need to clean the production device from particles stuck to the device
The use of calcium carbonate causes faster production due to the prevention of material sticking to the device. More production per unit of time means less energy consumption and more productivity.
Using this powder creates a better coverage of white and colored masterbatches.
Application of micronized carbonate powder
Micronized calcium carbonate powder in various industries including: paint, plastic and elastic production industry, flooring production, types of PVC sheets and PVC pipes, glue and resin industries, wire and cable, polyca and granule industry, artificial leather, paper, medicine , cosmetics and detergents, polymer industries, wall covering, drilling industry, masterbatch is used.
