Calcite (Calcium Carbonate) (R7193)

Packaging: 1 kg (2,20 lb) - 25 kg (55,12 lb)
Calcite, which has a CaCO3 chemical structure, is used as a CaO source in ceramic glazes.
It is also primarily used as a filler and coating material in the production of paper, paint, rubber and plastic.

Whiteness Degree:
It is a value obtained as a result of comparison with the standard MgO whiteness and is the % of the light reflectivity of the material.
This value should be 96-100% for calcite, 96% for marble and 93-96% for chalk.
It is a sought-after feature in industries where paper and whiteness are important.
