Use Of Precipitated Calcium Carbonate In Livestock farming

Limestone is often used in compound or premixed animal feed as it provides the necessary calcium contribution for a healthy livestock diet. Calcium deficiency can cause limitations in growth, reduced milk yield, poor bone structure and, during calving season, milk fever, and the most common metabolic disease affecting dairy cattle.

Calcium carbonate limestone can also aid in the strengthening of egg shells, so is often added to poultry feed, and is of benefit to all livestock groups, including pigs, sheep and horses. YAMUNA CALCIUM® offer whiting powder, granular material (sand at various grades) and coarser grits and chips

Use Of Precipitated Calcium Carbonate In Agriculture

Calcium and magnesium, along with an optimal pH, create the basis for a fertile soil. An adequate availability of lime is one of the basic prerequisites for the high-yielding and sustainable cultivation of plants. Lime has been used in agriculture since time immemorial to increase crop yields, for it is a natural soil additive and conditioner useful in treating soil acidification.

The wide range of grading and offer of regulation products, YAMUNA CALCIUM® makes it possible to provide the best solution for each soil and agricultural plan.

Glass and Ceramics

YAMUNA CALCIUM® offers specific calcium based products, designed for these sectors, with the objective of obtaining energy improvements, to increase efficiency and reduce emissions in the manufacturing process.

Calcium based products are some of the major components in glass and ceramic formulations.

In the ceramic sector, there are indispensable parts in both the tile and in the glaze that covers it. During the heating process, which the mineral is subjected to during firing, it allows it to react with the silica and alumina, therefore changing it from clay into a stable and long-lasting compound. YAMUNA CALCIUM® offers products specifically produced for this sector with a specific composition and granulometry:

Adhesives And Sealants

Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) plays a critical role in improving adhesive and sealant formulations. A sealant is a viscous or thyrotrophic material which after curing changes into elastic rubber, it is used to provide a seal against air and gas leaks, and to reduce noise, dust, fire, fumes and leaks. An adhesive is a chemical compound that allows the junction between two elements through surface contact. The base composition consists of many raw materials and chemical formulations and chemical and mineral additives, which are adapted to the needs of each application. YAMUNA CALCIUM® manufactures a range of products that improves the properties of these formulations.

Masterbatch

Precipitated Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) powder used in master batch production has the natural origins. It exists in many forms such as calcite, limestone, chalk, marble or aragonite, or in the form of impurities and minerals such as dolomite. For thousands of years, CaCO3 has been one of the most useful minerals for humans, in different fields. And so far, one of the industries that use CaCO3 the most is probably the filler master batch industry.
