Product Overview

Ground Calcium Carbonate (GCC) represents the premium end of calcium carbonate processing. Our GCC is precision-ground to achieve D50 values from 2 to 15 micrometers, making it suitable for applications where particle size, brightness, and surface area are critical. In PVC pipes, GCC reduces cost while maintaining impact strength. In paints, it provides superior opacity and smooth film formation. In printing inks, ultrafine GCC provides smooth flow and consistent colour density. In cable compounds, it ensures smooth extrusion and improved electrical properties. Our GCC starts from 98%+ purity limestone and is classified through advanced air classifier systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between GCC and PCC?

GCC is mechanically ground natural limestone. PCC is chemically precipitated. GCC is more cost-effective for most applications.

What particle sizes do you offer?

Our GCC is available with D50 from 2 µm (ultrafine) to 15 µm (fine).

Is GCC suitable for PVC pipes?

Yes. Our GCC maintains impact strength in rigid PVC at moderate loading levels.
