CALCIUM CARBONATE

Calcium Carbonate (CaCO₃)
By Aqeel Chemical & Processing Unit

Calcium Carbonate (CaCO₃) is one of the most widely available and versatile minerals found in nature. It occurs naturally in three crystalline forms—Calcite, Aragonite, and Vaterite—and is the principal component of limestone, marble, chalk, and seashells. Recognized for its whiteness, purity, low oil absorption, chemical stability, and non-toxicity, Calcium Carbonate is indispensable across multiple industries worldwide.
At Aqeel Chemical & Processing Unit, we specialize in producing high-purity Calcium Carbonate in lump, granular, and fine powder forms, tailored to meet specific industrial requirements.

Grades & Availability

We supply Calcium Carbonate in:

  • Natural Ground Calcium Carbonate (GCC) – produced by crushing, grinding, and classifying natural limestone or marble.
  • Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) – synthetically processed to achieve ultra-fine particle size, high brightness, and controlled properties.
  • Available in coarse lumps, fine powder, and micronized grades (200 mesh to 2000 mesh).
