Ground Calcium Carbonate (GCC) - created by nature over millions of years

In its natural state, calcium carbonate occurs as chalk, limestone and marble. Yamuna Calcium, Ground Calcium Carbonate is mined from one of the purest limestone deposits in the world with an average purity of 98.5% CaCO3. Both wet and dry grinding methods are commonly used in processing the limestone for industrial uses. Paper, plastic, paint, rubber and caulk producers use calcium carbonate as a way to improve quality and lower manufacturing costs. Plate glass, bottle and fiberglass producers use larger quantities of calcium carbonate as a source for calcium, an essential ingredient in their manufacturing processes. Calcium carbonate also helps to make many industrial plants more environmentally friendly through its use in waste treatment and flue gas scrubbing systems.

In the wet process (WGCC), the coarser powder materials obtain initially from dry process used as the raw material. The powder raw material prepared in slurry form after adding the suitable additive then made to pass through stages of wet attrition mills to get ultrafine product slurry with low viscosity of close PSD band. The slurry has the calcium carbonate slurry thus obtained is filtered & supplied through tankers & barrels or packed in dried form.
