|
Coated calcium
carbonate (CCC) is regular calcium
carbonate treated with a surface
coating, usually a fatty acid like
stearic acid, to make it
water-resistant (hydrophobic) and
improve its compatibility with
polymers and binders, enhancing
dispersion, flow, and mechanical
properties in plastics, paints,
paper, rubber, and cosmetics, while
also acting as a cost-effective
filler |

calcium carbonate |

Natural calcium
carbonate CaCO3 is a common mineral
found in rocks like limestone,
chalk, and marble, and in organic
shells (shells, pearls, eggshells).
It exists in mineral forms like
calcite, aragonite, and vaterite,
used widely in construction, paper,
paints, foods (as a
supplement/antacid), and plastics,
providing essential calcium and
acting as fillers. |

Cement |

ـــــــــــــــــ |
|
White cement is a
pure, white version of Portland
cement, made from low-iron materials
like limestone and clay, processed
at higher temperatures to remove
coloring agents, making it ideal for
bright, decorative finishes,
architectural concrete, tile grouts,
and precast items where color and
aesthetics are crucial, though it's
more expensive than grey cement. |
