Calcium carbonate makes up over 70 percent of the carbonates present in the market worldwide. What is it about this form of carbonate that makes it play such a dominant role in the market share and our lives today?
The following article explains the benefits of calcium carbonate and how it is essential in different industries.
Calcium carbonate definition
Let us begin by looking at what calcium carbonate is. To put it in simple words, this is nothing but a chemical compound that is often found in rocks, seashells, and pearls and is even the main component of eggs.
In other words, it is a chemical compound that goes by the formula CaCO3 and takes the form of a fine white powder. Calcium carbonate mostly exists in aragonite, popularly termed limestone- a sedimentary calcite rock. Snail shells are also known to be rich in calcium carbonate.
Chemical compostion of calcium carbonate
· 97.25 percent : CaCO3
· 0.12 percent: SiO2
· 0.04 percent: Al2O3
· 2.12 percent: MgCO3
· 0.03 percent: Fe2O3
Calcium carbonate is often used as a medical supplement to heal various problems in the body like weak bones, heartburn, and even stomach upset and indigestion but only with the advice of the doctor, failing which it can cause some hazardous effects. It also finds applications in the agriculture sector.
Uses of Calcium Carbonate
Calcium carbonate has various uses in our daily life. Let us have a brief look at them here:
1. Paints and paper
Have you ever looked at the paper and wondered what makes it so bright? One reason is the presence of calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate also finds applications as a coating pigment in paint and other plastic materials for this same reason.
It brightens and smoothens opaque paper, adds to the weight of paint, and acts as an effective filler in adhesives and sealants. It is the reason why top chemical companies in India have tie-ups with paint industries.
2. Construction materials and manufacturing
Calcium carbonate is one of the most important materials used in the construction industry, used in making cement and a few other building materials like marble. It acts as a binding agent (mortar) for setting bricks, concrete blocks, roofing shingles, tiles, rubber compounds, and so on.
The chemical offers antacid characteristics, making it perfect for industries that require acid neutralizing agents in water and soil. Amizara Speciality Chemicals is a leading supplier offering calcium carbonate. The company also offers Calcium Glycerophosphate specialty chemicals in Mumbai.
3. Industries
Of the many industries, calcium carbonate is very useful in agricultural and rubber industries, producing cost-effective results in the final products and manufacturing process. It also finds application as an additive in pesticides.
4. Food and Health
Baking powder, toothpaste, wine, dough, and health supplements are some of the various items that utilize calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate is also part of agricultural lime used as animal feed.
5. Plastic Industry
Calcium carbonate is very useful in the plastic industry because of its chemical structure, providing stability to these products with the right amount of hardness, efficiency, heat resistance, and flame retarding properties. Apart from this, it also makes plastic products more glossy and improves their heat resistance.
The following are how it benefits this industry:
1. Bags
Calcium carbonate combines with polyethylene to make bags more durable. It is for this reason, that it is essential for manufacturing all kinds of bags, from garbage bags to shopping bags.
2. Injection molding
The chemical compound along with polypropylene finds applications in the injection molding process for plastic products like hollow boards, sheets, home appliances parts, etc.

Calcium carbonate is composed of three elements which are of particular importance for all organic and inorganic material on our planet: carbon, oxygen and calcium.
Calcium carbonateCalcium carbonate is usually marketed under two forms, Ground Calcium Carbonate (GCC) and Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC).
GCC is mainly produced from the physical grinding of limestone while PCC is got from the chemical synthesis.
Between the two forms, GCC is the most widely used one and contributed 72.87% share in 2017 globally.Download FREE Sample of this Report @ https://www.grandresearchstore.com/report-sample/global-synthetic-calcium-carbonate-2019-2024-777According to this study, over the next five years the Synthetic Calcium Carbonate market will register a 2.1% CAGR in terms of revenue, the global market size will reach US$ 14900 million by 2024, from US$ 13400 million in 2019.
