OUR MARKETS & PARTNERS 

As the future unfolds, we seeks to explore new opportunities, develop  portfolio and reach out to new markets.

Adhesives and Sealants

Ground calcium carbonate is not only an economic filler but, is considered as a booster to some important characteristics such as mechanical properties and sagging resistance for the adhesives and sealants profile.

Decorative Paints

Interior & Exterior
Emulsion paints

Lacquer Paints

Industrial Coatings and Inks

The natural calcium carbonate is known for its low oil absorption, low  abrasiveness  and  anticorrosion  properties which makes it an  important ingredient in the domain of industrial coatings.

APPLICATIONS 

CONSTRUCTION

Self-compacting Concrete, Asphalt

Ground calcium carbonate plays a major role in precast concrete industry thanks to its self compacting proerpties.

Ground calcium carbonate is a key component in asphalt applications, it provides a consistent material that is easier to work.

Coating Pigments

The technical and economic advantages of calcium carbonate as paper coating pigments achieve high brightness, low binder demand, better run-ability, excellent printability and desired gloss.

Fillers

Ground calcium carbonate is generally recognized for having the best potential as an economic filler-for-fiber substitution. Calcium carbonate also provides advantages in high strength, easier drainage and productivity.

Paper

Ground calcium carbonate improves the whiteness of the sheet and reduces costs by replacing expensive fiber and pigments.

Ground calcium carbonate allows polymers to heat and cool faster, resulting in higher productivity for plastic producers.

PLASTIC

Injection molding, blow molding and extrusion coating

Ground calcium carbonate  in plastics production reduces energy use during the manufacturing process, therefore minimizing the carbon footprint and greenhouse gas impact of finished plastic products.

Rubber Moldings & Extrusions

Injection molding, blow molding and extrusion coating

Our products with their exceptional whiteness, good dispersion and low oil absorption properties are an excellent filler for these applications.

PAINTS, COATINGS
& ADHESIVES

Calcium Carbonate is used as a filler due to its competitive pricing, ease of availability and desired physical properties such as high brightness, weather resistance, low oil absorption and dispersibility.

Filler for paints and coatings, Road marking and traffic paint 

These products are used for animal feeds and are also used in the alkaline treatment of soil.

AGRICULTURE

Animal / Poultry Feed 
Livestock Nutrition

Ground calcium carbonate plays an important role in maintaining health particularly when more natural  feed is not available. 

​Oil Additives

Calcium carbonate is an acid-soluble bridging and weighty agent for controlling fluid loss and density. It can be used in fluids ranging from conventional oil-base and water-base drilling fluids, to workover and completion fluids.

Waterproofing

Calcium Carbonate is used as hydrophobic functional filler.

Ceramic

The usage of these products will increase the water absorption and help as a flux together with feldspar.

Foam & Latex

Calcium Carbonate is used as functional filler with other foaming additives to strengthen and prolong the life of carpet-backing.

GLASS MANUFACTURING

Low-contaminant, economic glass manufacturing

Ground calcium Carbonate contains Minimal levels Of contaminants.

Pipes & Fittings

Our products with fine particle size and stearate coating give good mechanical and optical properties with the required toughness and tensile strength for this application.

Master Batch

Cables

Ground calcium carbonate (GCC), treated with stearic acid is a desired ingredient in PVC cable formulations due to its economic advantage and its characteristics that contribute to achieving the desired electrical, mechanical and thermal properties.

ENVIRONMENTAL

 PROTECTION

Flue Gas Desulphurization (FGD)
De-acidifying Lakes, Rivers, and Soil

Ground calcium Carbonate removes harmful emissions & pollutants from the air, such as no2 and no2 from the burning of coal and other fossil fuels in a process called flue gas desulphurisation.

Gcc is used in lakes and rivers to raise the Ph level and de-acidify natural bodies of water.
