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.
Carbon Black
Carbon Black is a fine black powder composed of elemental carbon in the form of near-spherical colloidal particles and coalesced particle aggregates. It is produced through the incomplete combustion or thermal decomposition of hydrocarbons such as oil or natural gas. Depending on the manufacturing process (e.g., furnace black, channel black, thermal black, or acetylene black), it exhibits varying particle sizes, surface areas, and structures. Carbon Black is valued for its pigmenting, reinforcing, conductive, and UV-protective properties. It is widely used in rubber production, plastics, inks, coatings, batteries, and electronics.
