Explore the differentiated properties and applications of active calcium carbonate and light calcium carbonate-3
Uses of Light Calcium Carbonate
Light calcium carbonate plays an important role in many fields with its high whiteness, high purity, high scattering coefficient and stable pH value. Specifically, it is often used as:
Filler and thickener: In rubber, plastic and coating, light calcium carbonate as a filler can reduce costs, reduce material weight, and improve the hardness and wear resistance of products. In food and medicine, it can also be used as a thickener to increase the viscosity and consistency of products.
Coating agent and filter material in the papermaking industry: In the papermaking process, light calcium carbonate can be used as a coating agent and filter material to increase the hardness and opacity of paper while reducing papermaking costs.
Feed additive: In feed, light calcium carbonate can provide the calcium and phosphorus required by animals, which helps the growth and development of animals.
Medical and oral care products: In the medical field, light calcium carbonate can be used as a calcium supplement to prevent and treat osteoporosis. At the same time, it can also be used to make oral care products such as toothpaste and chewing gum, as well as orthopedic medical materials such as artificial bones and dental filling materials.
Additives in the construction field: In the construction industry, light calcium carbonate can be used as an additive to building materials to make lightweight concrete, thermal insulation materials, etc., to reduce the density of building materials, improve thermal insulation performance, and reduce the cost of building materials.
