Calcite Powder

Calcite Powder is a naturally occurring form of Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) with an extremely high degree of whiteness, and purity. Calcite Powder is extensively utilized as a filler in the manufacturing of plastics owing to its low oil absorption, high dispersibility, smooth surface finish, high impact resistance, easy processing, unmatched dimensional stability, and compatibility with other complex polymers and organic additives.

The calcite powder we provide helps in improving the cleaning action of detergents and soaps due to the presence of a sufficient grade of abrasiveness.

Uses of Calcite Powder :

Oil Exploration/ Oil: sized and grounded Calcite Powder is used to increase the mud density in oil rigs and is preferred over using barite as it is soluble in mineral acids, especially hydrochloric acid (HCl), and is used to clean up production zones.

It is primarily used as a bridging material in drilling operations, workover fluids, and completions. Specially sized calcite particles, along with polymers, are used to control and reduce fluid loss in brines and drill-ins, workover fluids, and completions.

Rigid PVC Pipes: PVC is a highly versatile polymer, which is recommended for a variety of pipe applications, from large-scale sewer piping systems, to smaller residential drain-waste piping vents, to even smaller filtered water piping systems and also electrical conduits.

Our surface-treated calcite powder is designed to give an excellent dispersion, along with sufficient incorporation in the polymer matrix, for maximum formulation flexibility and property development.

Calcite Powder also improves the base properties of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) by making the polymer matrix stiffer and improving its impact resistance by making the particle sizes smaller.
