What Is Calcite?

What is Calcite? One of the most basic materials in the plastic industry, the calcite is the name given to industrial minerals that we can define as crystallized calcium carbonate. They have a grain size of 1- 100 mm. It is a highly fragile mineral. It is a dense and natural material, so it is an important material that is preferred for commercial use and has an effect to reduce production costs.

It is used as a filling material in pipe, cable and plastic production and adds properties such as hardness and flexibility to the material. In paint production, it gives consistency to the paint and provides brightness. With a very bright white colour, the calcite is also used as a white pigment.

In masterbatch production, the fact that the calcite has a high dispersion rate, i. e. it does not get lumpy in the mixture and its degree of whiteness are of great importance. A good-quality calcite should also be free of heavy metals, have a low degree of abrasion, have a low absorption rate of oil, be in white colour, and increase the flexibility of the material in which it is included during the production.
