About calcuim carbonate
Ground calcium carbonate is a widely used industrial mineral. Particle size, colour and chemical purity define the quality of the ground calcium carbonate and the suitability of use for a wide variety of applications. Incoa will produce high quality ground calcium carbonate products suitable for use in a variety of end markets. High quality ground calcium carbonate is used as a functional filler agent in various end products, including sealants and caulks, adhesives and rubber, and as an active ingredient in food and pharmaceutical products which primarily serve to supplement dietary calcium consumption amongst other end products.
