Calcium Carbonate Uncoated
Original price was: $ 1.05.$ 0.93Current price is: $ 0.93.
Calcium Carbonate Uncoated is a naturally occurring mineral compound composed primarily of calcium, carbon, and oxygen with the chemical formula CaCO₃. It appears as a fine white powder or granules, widely used as a filler, pigment, and functional additive across various industries. The uncoated form means the calcium carbonate particles are not surface-treated, retaining their natural properties. It is valued for its high brightness, whiteness, and excellent compressibility. Uncoated calcium carbonate is used to enhance opacity, improve processing, and reduce costs in plastics, paints, coatings, adhesives, rubber, paper, and construction materials.
