Buyer’s Notes
Choosing the grade. Calcite is natural calcium carbonate. Compare grades by whiteness, particle size and acid-insoluble content, not just 'CaCO3 %'. Fine, bright grades go into paints and plastics; coarser grades into construction and pH correction.
What to check on the spec sheet. Whiteness (91% on this sheet), moisture, calcium as CaCO3, acid-insoluble matter, pH of a 10% suspension and the particle-size distribution you need. Ask for a sieve or median-size figure if your application depends on it.
Handling and storage. Non-hazardous but dusty. Keep bags covered and dry, and use a dust mask when transferring large quantities.
Where it is used. Filler in paints, plastics, rubber and PVC compounds, paper filling and coating, pH correction in water treatment, and construction products.
