Calcite

CaCO₃-based industrial mineral — a foundational raw material providing whiteness, filling performance, and cost advantage.

CaCO₃

Calcite — the foundational mineral for whiteness, filling, and process compatibility.

01

Mineral structure

Calcite is the industrial mineral with chemical formula CaCO₃ that forms carbonate rocks. It can crystallize colorlessly and transparently with a glassy luster.

02

Powder form

When ground, it becomes a white powder. It is also known as limestone.

03

Eco-friendly production

Since no chemical processing is involved during calcite and dolomite production, it is environmentally friendly; it can also enrich soil and reduce acidity.

04

Industrial value

Use of micronized and granular calcite is increasing; preferred in paint, paper, plastic, and many other industries for its whiteness and cost advantage.
