We at Innova Priority Solutions are
engaged in providing calcium carbonate which are used in various
industries such as plastic, paper, rubber, paint, pharmaceutical and
many more. Calcium carbonate is a common substance which are found in
the form of rock. Its chemical formula is CaCO3. Furthermore, it is the
main component of seashells and the shell of snails. These pure calcium
carbonate are high in whiteness. They are almost free flowing in nature.
As such, we are largest calcium carbonate suppliers and exporters in
India.
We are recognized as one of the
prominent Suppliers of Calcium Carbonate Minerals. PCC stands for
Precipitated Calcium Carbonate—also known as purified, refined or
Synthetic Calcium Carbonate. It has the same chemical formula as other
types of calcium carbonate, such as limestone, marble and chalk: CaCO3.
The calcium, carbon and oxygen atoms can arrange themselves in three
different ways, to form three different calcium carbonate minerals. The
most common arrangement for both precipitated and ground calcium
carbonates is the hexagonal form known as calcite. A number of different
calcite crystal forms are possible: scalenohedral, rhombohedral and
prismatic. Less common is aragonite, which has a discrete or clustered
needle orthorhombic crystal structure. Rare and generally unstable is
the vaterite calcium carbonate mineral.

Applications :
Industrial Uses
- As a building material in its own right (like marble) or limestone
aggregate for the purpose road-building.
- As the starting material for preparing lime used by builders,
after it is burnt in a kiln.
- For the purpose of purifying iron, in a blast furnace, from iron
ore.
- As a formation bridging and filter-cake sealing agent in drilling
fluids.
- As a weighting material to increase the density of drilling
fluids, to control downhole pressures.
- As one of the main raw materials used in growing Seacrete or
Biorock.
- As filler material for latex gloves, as precipitated Calcium
carbonate (pre-dispersed in slurry form).
- As an extender in paints, especially in matte emulsion paints.
- As a filler in plastics (example - 15 to 20% loading of chalk in
uPVC drain pipe) as well as thermosetting resins.
- As an ingredient in some types of compression molded
"clay" Poker chips.
- As an ingredient in the micro-porous film used in babies' diapers
and some building films.
- In a wide range of trade and DIY adhesives, sealants, and
decorating fillers.
- In setting stained glass windows, along with putty.
- As a resist to prevent glass from sticking to kiln shelves when
firing glazes and paints at high temperature.
- As a common ingredient for many glazes, in ceramics/glazing
applications.
- In the production of glossy paper, replacing kaolin.
- As a pH corrector in swimming pools, for maintaining alkalinity
"buffer" to offset the acidic properties of the
disinfectant agent.
- As a major component of blackboard chalk.
- As an abrasive, as scouring powder as well as as an ingredient of
household scouring creams.
- For making mortar, which is used in bonding bricks, concrete
blocks, stones and tiles.
- To collect any impurities present in the steel materials.
- Health & Dietary Uses
- In the treatment of hyperphosphatemia (primarily in patients with
chronic renal failure), as a phosphate binder.
- As an inert filler for tablets and other pharmaceuticals.
- As an inexpensive dietary calcium supplement or antacid.
- In the production of toothpaste.
- As one of the constitutional remedies in homeopathy.
- As a source of dietary calcium, in some soy milk products.
- As a very effective treatment for problems with stomach acid.
- To treat certain ailments related to calcium deficiency, like
osteoporosis.
- In grocery products, such as backing powder, dry-mix dessert
mixes, dough, plastic, and wine.
Environmental Uses
- To neutralize acidic conditions in water.
- As primary component of garden lime, also known as agricultural
lime.
- In de-sulphurisation of flue gas and waste water treatments
