Ground calcium carbonate

Ground calcium carbonate for glass, crystal and ceramic production

Ground calcium carbonate with a particle size ranging from 600 to 2000 µm is widely used in glass manufacturing. Its specific chemical and physical properties give the melt the ideal consistency to be easily shaped while maintaining its form. Thanks to its high purity and quality, it is also employed in the production of automotive glass for leading brands and in the creation of refined crystalware. In the construction industry, it is used in asphalt mixtures, high-quality mortars, and waterproofing membranes.

Application sectors

Glass industry

The specific chemical and physical properties of this ground calcium carbonate give the melt a consistency that makes it easy to shape and maintain its form. This makes it ideal as a glass-grade calcium carbonate for high-end applications in crystal and float glass production.

Mortar, concrete, and asphalt

Ground calcium carbonate is widely used in the production of asphalt, high-quality mortars, concrete, and waterproofing membranes. Its controlled granulometry and chemical stability make it a reliable mineral additive for various cementitious and road-building applications.
