Calcium carbonate is one of the main additives in the paints, coatings, adhesives and inks market.
The addition of calcium carbonate to powder paints provides both matt and glossy finishes. This results in improved covering, whiteness and stability properties. As well as obtaining a higher covering power, it gives a high gloss, and our calcium carbonate is notable for its low absorption in oil and easy dispersion, making it resistant to external agents.
The fineness and grain size distribution of the particles affect the opacity of the coatings as well as improving the surface treatment, which makes the particles water-repellent and therefore increases compatibility and facilitates dispersion.
