Natural Calcium Carbonate
Calcite Powder Natural Calcium Carbonate with extremely high whiteness, purity and free flowing in nature. It is widely used in Thermoplastic application because of its compatibility with polymers and other organic additives. It acts as a spacing extender, increasing efficiency of pigment TiO2. Calcite is also of bio-organic origin but more compacted than Chalk. Best quality calcite is found in Rajasthan.
