Ground Calcium Carbonate, also known as GCC, has several properties that make it useful in various industries. Some of the key properties of GCC are:
High purity: Ground Calcium Carbonate has a high level of purity, which makes it suitable for use in food, pharmaceuticals, and other applications where purity is important.
Fine particle size: GCC has a fine particle size, which makes it easy to mix with other materials and improves its dispersibility.
High brightness: GCC has a high level of brightness, which makes it useful in paper, paint, and other industries where a bright white color is desired.
High whiteness: GCC has a high whiteness level, which makes it an ideal choice for applications where a bright white color is desired.
Chemical stability: GCC has high chemical stability and is resistant to acids, alkalis, and other chemicals.
Low abrasiveness: GCC is not abrasive and does not wear down the machinery or equipment it comes into contact with.
Low oil absorption: GCC has a low oil absorption capacity, which makes it useful in the production of paints, coatings, and other products where oil absorption is a concern.
These are just a few examples of the unique properties of Ground Calcium Carbonate that make it a valuable material in many industries.
- Higher flow properties
- Higher mechanical properties in thermoplastic applications
- Better gloss and whiteness in Paints & Powder coating applications
- Excellent dispersion properties
- Prevents chalking
- Better corrosion resistance
