What Is Calcium Carbonate & Why It Matters
Calcium carbonate (CaCO) is a versatile and naturally occurring mineral compound widely used as a filler, strength enhancer, neutraliser, and extender in multiple industries. Available in a range of grades and particle sizes—from coarse filler to ultra-fine powders—our calcium carbonate products deliver performance and efficiency where it matters most.
Our Calcium Carbonate Products
Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC)
Precipitated calcium carbonate is a synthetically produced, high-purity form of CaCO featuring controlled particle size and uniform structure. PCC is ideal for high-end applications such as paper coatings, plastics, paints, rubber, and specialty chemicals, thanks to enhanced brightness, dispersibility, and performance characteristics.
Ground Calcium Carbonate (GCC)
Ground calcium carbonate is produced by mechanically grinding natural limestone and offers a cost-effective filler for broad industrial use. It is widely used in paints, coatings, construction materials, plastics, adhesives and sealants, where excellent bulk, opacity, and mechanical properties are required.
Calcium Carbonate Powder
Our calcium carbonate powder range includes fine and ultrafine grades that enhance surface finish, opacity, strength, and texture in plastics, paper, coatings, and formulations requiring precise particle distribution.
Fine & Filler Calcium Carbonate
From ultra-fine calcium carbonate grades for coatings and film to filler calcium carbonate for bulk industrial formulations, Hippo Industrial Minerals delivers solutions that optimise product cost and performance across applications.
