Calcium Carbonate Heavy
Calcium Carbonate Heavy is a high-density, finely ground, natural mineral primarily composed of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃). Known for its higher bulk density compared to regular grades, this filler is widely used in applications requiring enhanced weight, opacity, and strength. It is commonly employed as a functional filler and extender in industries such as plastics, paints, coatings, adhesives, rubber, paper, and construction materials. Its inert nature, whiteness, and particle size distribution make it suitable for improving mechanical properties and surface finish, while also offering cost efficiency by replacing more expensive raw materials.
Calcium Carbonate Light
Calcium Carbonate Light is a finely ground, low bulk density natural mineral composed primarily of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃). Compared to standard grades, it has a lower density and larger particle size distribution, making it suitable for applications where light weight and high brightness are important. This form is extensively used as a filler and extender in industries such as plastics, paints, rubber, paper, adhesives, and construction materials to improve opacity, brightness, and texture, while maintaining low weight and cost efficiency. Its chemical inertness and whiteness provide functional and aesthetic advantages across formulations.
Calcium Hydroxide Hydrated Lime
Calcium Hydroxide Hydrated Lime, commonly known as Hydrated Lime or Slaked Lime, is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Ca(OH)â‚‚. It appears as a white, odorless, powder or crystalline solid. It is produced by treating quicklime (calcium oxide) with water in a process called slaking. Calcium Hydroxide is moderately soluble in water, forming a strongly alkaline solution known as limewater. It is widely used in construction, environmental, chemical, agricultural, and water treatment applications due to its caustic, neutralizing, and flocculating properties.
Calcium Sulphate
 Calcium Sulphate is an inorganic compound composed of calcium, sulfur, and oxygen, commonly found in two forms: dihydrate (gypsum, CaSO4·2H2O) and anhydrous (CaSO4). It appears as a white or off-white crystalline powder or granules with low solubility in water. Calcium Sulphate is widely used in construction, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, food industry, and various industrial applications. It acts as a filler, hardening agent, and drying agent due to its physical and chemical properties. The dihydrate form (gypsum) is notable for use in plaster and cement, while the anhydrous form is often used as a drying agent and in refractory materials.
Eagle Styrene Acrylic 72/50
Eagle Styrene Acrylic 72/50 is a co-polymer emulsion consisting of styrene and acrylic monomers, offered at 50% active solids concentration in water. It appears as a milky-white, low-viscosity liquid with a mild odor. This polymer emulsion combines excellent film-forming properties, adhesion, and mechanical strength, making it widely used in coatings, adhesives, sealants, and functional binders across multiple industries.
Master Air
Master Air is a high-performance air release agent used primarily in concrete and construction applications. It facilitates the release of entrapped air bubbles from fresh concrete mixtures, improving workability, surface finish, and durability. This additive enhances the homogeneity of concrete by reducing air voids that can weaken the structure. Master Air is suitable for use in ready-mix concrete, precast elements, and other cementitious materials, contributing to improved mechanical properties and longevity of the final product.
Master Fibre
 Master Fibre is a high-quality synthetic fiber additive designed to reinforce concrete and mortar mixtures. It improves structural integrity by enhancing tensile strength, reducing cracking, and increasing durability. The fibers disperse uniformly within the mix, providing better load distribution and impact resistance in industrial, commercial, and residential construction applications. Master Fibre enhances performance without compromising workability, making it ideal for use in concrete slabs, pavements, beams, and repair mortars.
Methyl Cellulose 400mpc
Methyl Cellulose 400 MPC is a chemically modified cellulose derivative in powder form. It is a non-ionic, water-soluble polymer widely used as a thickener, binder, emulsifier, and film former. It exhibits excellent water retention, viscosity control, and thermal gelation properties, making it ideal for applications in construction, pharmaceuticals, food, and cosmetics.
