Calcium carbonate limestone
Calcium carbonate limestone, a chemically stable, high-purity limestone, is used in manufacturing industries such as ceramics, glass manufacturing, and construction for material blending. This calcium carbonate mineral also serves as a versatile limestone filler in the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries.
Calcium carbonate limestone, chemically known as CaCO₃ and commonly called limestone, is a high-purity limestone with exceptional stability, used in diverse manufacturing industries such as ceramics, glasses, and construction for raw material blending. This calcium carbonate mineral also finds extensive application as a limestone filler in the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries.
The natural limestone for industrial use quarried from Monte Sei Busi in Fogliano Redipuglia represents one of the purest sources on the market, with purity levels ranging from 99.5% to 99.9%. Geochemical surveys confirm the site’s exceptional chemical stability and minimal impurities. In our laboratory, periodic analyses ensure that the extracted calcium carbonate limestone consistently meets stringent quality specifications.
Due to its outstanding quality, our limestone for lime kilns, limestone for glass manufacturing, and limestone for agriculture are in high demand. In the construction sector, crushed limestone for construction is essential for producing mortars, plasters, and foundation works, providing a durable base for long-lasting structures.
Calcium carbonate limestone for industrial use
Limestone, valued in industrial applications for its high purity and chemical stability, is used across a broad spectrum of production sectors. This natural limestone for industrial use finds applications in the paper industry, limestone for glass manufacturing, metallurgy (limestone for steel production), and the limestone for chemical industry. It is also employed in limestone for agriculture as a fertilizer. With FAMI-QS certification, our calcium carbonate mineral now extends its quality to feed-grade applications in livestock and the food industry.
Limestone for building materials
Limestone a natural calcium carbonate rock is used in construction to formulate general building materials, as crushed limestone for construction in railway ballast, foundation works, and maritime structures. It also serves as a limestone aggregate for roads and is batched into concrete (cementitious mixes) and masonry mortars, providing a durable base for a wide range of projects.
