Calcium Carbonate (uncoated)

Original price was: $4,900.00.Current price is: $4,800.00.

Calcium Carbonate (uncoated) refers to a natural mineral substance that is composed of calcium carbonate without any additional coatings or surface treatments. It is a white, powdery material that is commonly used in various industrial applications, including the manufacture of paper, paints, plastics, and rubber products, as well as in construction, agriculture, and the food and pharmaceutical industries. Uncoated calcium carbonate is typically mined from natural deposits of limestone or chalk and is often ground into fine particles to achieve the desired particle size and purity for specific applications

Description

Calcium Carbonate (uncoated) Uses

Paper manufacturing:

Uncoated calcium carbonate is used as a filler and coating agent in the production of paper, improving its brightness, opacity, and printability.

Paints and coatings:

It is used as a pigment extender and to improve the rheology, gloss, and durability of paints and coatings.

Plastics:

Uncoated calcium carbonate is used as a filler to enhance the mechanical properties of plastic products, such as stiffness, impact resistance, and dimensional stability.

Rubber:

It is used as a reinforcing agent in the production of rubber products, such as tires, belts, and hoses, to improve their strength and durability.

Construction:

Uncoated calcium carbonate is used as a filler in concrete and mortar to improve their strength, durability, and workability.

Agriculture:

It is used as a soil conditioner to neutralize acidic soils and provide essential nutrients to plants.

Food and pharmaceuticals:

Uncoated calcium carbonate is used as a dietary supplement, an antacid, and a bulking agent in food and pharmaceutical products.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Personal Protection
  • Respiratory Protection: Use a dust mask (NIOSH N95 or higher)if handling large quantities of powder in poorly ventilated areas.
  • Eye Protection: Wear safety gogglesto prevent irritation from dust.
  • Skin Protection: Use gloves (nitrile or latex)and long sleeves if prolonged exposure is expected.
  • General Hygiene: Avoid inhalation and ingestion. Wash hands after handling.
Handling & Storage
  • Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilatedarea away from acids.
  • Keep containers tightly closedto prevent moisture absorption.
  • Minimize dust generation; use local exhaust ventilationif necessary.
  • Avoid contact with strong acids(can release CO₂ gas).
Spill Management
  • Sweep up spills (avoid dust generation) and dispose of properly.
  • Wash contaminated surfaces with water.
Inhalation
  • Move to fresh air
  • If breathing difficulties occur, seek medical attention.
Skin Contact
  • Wash affected area with soap and water.
  • If irritation develops, seek medical advice.
Eye Contact
  • Rinse immediately with plenty of water for 15 minutes, lifting eyelids occasionally.
  • Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Ingestion
  • Rinse mouth with water.
  • Drink plenty of waterto dilute.
  • Do NOTinduce vomiting.
  • Seek medical advice if large amounts are ingested.

Firefighting Measures

  • Non-flammableand does not support combustion.
  • No special firefighting measures required.
  • If involved in a fire, use water spray, dry chemical, CO₂, or foamto extinguish surrounding fires.
  • Hazardous Decomposition: At very high temperatures (>825°C), decomposes into calcium oxide (quicklime) and CO₂ gas.
  • Firefighters should wear SCBAif decomposition occurs in enclosed spaces (risk of CO₂ buildup).
