Precipitated Calcium Carbonate

Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) is the result of a chemical reaction involving calcium hydroxide (lime) and carbon dioxide. This reaction yields a finely textured, white powder that is commonly employed as both a filler and a pigment. PCC boasts carefully controlled particle dimensions and a remarkable level of brightness, rendering it an exceptional filler for a variety of uses.

PCC finds widespread utilization across multiple sectors. In the paper industry, it serves to heighten brightness, opacity, and smoothness. In the realm of paints, it functions as an extender while enhancing opacity. In adhesives, it imparts specific rheological characteristics and counters sagging tendencies. Furthermore, in the realm of cosmetics, it takes on the roles of a bulking agent and an abrasive component in toothpaste, as well as an absorbent in various powders and creams. Lastly, PCC plays a
crucial role in animal feed as a source of dietary calcium, benefiting livestock, poultry, and pet food products.
