Precipitated Calcium Carbonate is used as the iller in the paper industry due its high purity and brightness which improves optical properties and the quality. Its fine particle size allows it to be used more for paper coating and surface finishing. Using Precipitated calcium carbonate in paper brings in the following advantages:- It enhances optical properties and print characteristics of paper products.
- Improves quality and brightness
- Better coating and surface finish
- Reduce costs through the replacement of expensive wood pulp
Paint Grade
Precipitated Calcium Carbonate is used in Paint Industry as extender/spreader for increasing opacity and porosity. With its high whiteness and ideal distribution, Precipitated Calcium Carbonate improves the processabilityesability characteristics of paint and increases the surface area covered by the paint. Precipitated Calcium Carbonate is an anti-settling agent and also an opacifying agent which enhances the gloss and stability characteristics of the paint. Key benefits of using PCC in the paint industry are:- Increase opacity and porosity.
- Enhances processability characteristics
- Improves gloss and quality.
Rubber industry
Precipitated calcium carbonate has fine particle size distribution and higher dispensability; it results in improving the strength and flexibility of the rubber products. Use of PCC in rubber has many key benefits such as- Improvement in strength and stiffness
- Imparts whiteness and quality
- Reduction in the cost.
Plastics
Precipitated Calcium Carbonate, due to its fine crystal structure, is used as mineral filler for improving the rheology and mechanical resistance of the plastic. It is mainly used in PVC as functional filler for improving the mechanic properties and appearance which includes whiteness, shine, and finish. Key benefits of using precipitated calcium carbonate in rubber products are -- Improves flow control and moulding characteristics.
- Improves strength and toughness.
Tooth paste/Dental Care:
PCC is used in toothpaste/tooth powder because of its abrasive nature. It acts as a polishing or cleaning agent in the toothpaste. It also helps in water absorption which maintains the water content in toothpaste. It is used in general purpose toothpaste, speciality dentifrices, and other oral care products Key advantages of PCC in toothpaste products are -- It is odourless and inert in nature and used as a less expensive filler. It reduces the cost of the product.
- Reduces the weight due low bulk density.
