what is calcium carbonate?

Calcium carbonate powder is a compound with the chemical formula CaCO3 that is alkaline, essentially insoluble in water and soluble in acids. It is a common substance on Earth and is found in rocks such as aragonite, calcite, chalk, limestone, marble and travertine. It is also a major component of animal bones and shells.

Calcium carbonate is 99% pure, very high in whiteness and low in metals. Today, Calcium Carbonate is an essential material for many industries as it saves costs and increases the utilization of the final product.

Basic information
