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.
Calcium Carbonate Uncoated
Primary Uses
- Plastics & Polymers

- Enhances stiffness, impact resistance, and dimensional stability.
- Improves processing and reduces production costs.
- Paints & Coatings
- Acts as a pigment extender and filler in water-based and solvent-based paints.
- Provides improved opacity, brightness, and scrub resistance.
- Enhances rheology and flow properties of coatings.
- Paper Industry
- Serves as a coating pigment and filler to improve brightness, opacity, and printability.
- Improves surface smoothness and ink holdout.
- Rubber Industry
- Used as a filler to improve hardness and mechanical properties in rubber products.
- Reduces production costs and enhances product performance.
- Construction Materials
- Integral component in cement, mortar, and concrete mixes as a filler and extender.
- Improves workability and mechanical properties.
Secondary Uses
- Agriculture
- Used as a soil conditioner and neutralizing agent to adjust soil pH.
- Acts as a calcium supplement in animal feed.
- Pharmaceuticals & Food
- Used as an antacid and calcium supplement in pharmaceutical formulations (subject to purity standards).
- Utilized as a food additive (E170) in baking powders, chewing gum, and confectionery.
- Environmental Applications
- Used for water treatment and flue gas desulfurization.
