Product Description

Calcium carbonate, also known as limestone or stone powder, is a common chemical substance on Earth. It belongs to the inorganic salt mineral family, is alkaline, sparingly soluble in water, and readily soluble in acids. It naturally exists in rocks such as aragonite, calcite, chalk, limestone, marble, and limestone. In limestone layers, insoluble calcium carbonate reacts with water containing dissolved carbon dioxide to form calcium bicarbonate, and water containing dissolved calcium bicarbonate can also precipitate calcium carbonate, which is the reason for the formation of caves. Calcium is essential for maintaining the normal function of the human nervous, muscular, skeletal systems, cell membranes, and capillary permeability. Calcium carbonate is the main component of animal bones and shells. Calcium carbonate used in pharmaceuticals and as a food additive is produced from calcite. After purification, sterilization, filtration, and refining, it has a calcium-supplementing effect and is used in large quantities in the preparation of penicillin, streptomycin, and oxytetracycline. In food, it is used as an additive to ensure the body's necessary calcium intake, such as in chewing gum, chocolate, and beverages like Wahaha, Juneng Calcium, and Xizhilang jelly, as a fortifying agent to meet the body's calcium requirements.

What are the benefits?

1. Nutritional and Medicinal Effects on the Human Body

Highly Effective Calcium Supplementation: Calcium carbonate is high in calcium and is a high-quality inorganic calcium source. It can supplement the calcium ions needed by the human body, promote bone and teeth growth and development, increase bone density, and prevent and improve problems such as calcium deficiency in children, leg cramps in adults, osteoporosis and bone loss in middle-aged and elderly people, thus maintaining bone health.
Neutralizing Stomach Acid and Protecting the Stomach: As a weakly alkaline carbonate, it can quickly neutralize excess stomach acid, relieving acid reflux, heartburn, stomach pain, and burning sensation caused by excessive stomach acid. It is often used to help improve chronic gastritis and reflux stomach discomfort, and is also a common raw material for antacids.
Maintaining Physiological Functions: It participates in the regulation of nerve conduction, muscle contraction, blood clotting, and electrolyte balance, maintaining the normal functioning of the heart, muscles, and nervous system, and preventing nerve sensitivity and muscle spasms caused by calcium deficiency.

2. Food Applications

Food Calcium Fortifier: Added to milk, oatmeal, biscuits, soy products, and meal replacement foods for nutritional fortification, increasing dietary calcium intake.
Acidity Regulators and Leavening Agents: Adjust the pH of food, neutralize acidic components; when used in combination, they help baked goods rise and improve texture.
Anti-caking Agents and Improvers: Prevent powdered foods from clumping, stabilize food texture, and extend shelf life.

3. Daily Chemical and Industrial Uses

Daily Chemical Raw Materials: Used as an abrasive in toothpaste and mouthwash to gently clean tooth stains and plaque; used as a mild filler and pH adjuster in skincare products.
Industrial Uses: Used as a filler and toughening agent in rubber, plastics, and coatings; as a raw material in papermaking and building materials, providing wear resistance, whitening, and cost reduction.

Application directions

Calcium carbonate, as an important inorganic non-metallic mineral raw material, has a wide range of applications. The main application areas are as follows:

1. Paper Industry

As a filler and coating pigment, it can improve paper brightness, opacity, and smoothness, reduce hygroscopicity and deformation, improve printability, and reduce production costs.

2. Plastics Industry

As a filler in plastics such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE), and polypropylene (PP), it can improve the dimensional stability, hardness, and heat resistance of plastic products, improve processing performance, and reduce production costs.

3. Coatings Industry

It is a commonly used extender pigment in coatings, which can improve the gloss, chemical resistance, and rheological properties of coatings, and reduce the amount of titanium dioxide used. It is used in architectural coatings, automotive coatings, road marking coatings, etc.

4. Rubber Industry

As a filler and reinforcing agent, it can improve the tensile strength, abrasion resistance, and tear strength of rubber products, and reduce the extrusion shrinkage rate of rubber compounds. It is suitable for rubber products such as shoe soles, tires, and rubber hoses.

5. Food Industry

As a food additive, it can be used as an alkalinizing agent, nutritional supplement, dough conditioner, and curing agent. It is used in calcium-fortified health foods, chewing gum, flour products, and breakfast cereals.

6. Pharmaceutical Industry

Commonly used as a drug filler, utilizing its antacid properties to neutralize stomach acid. It is also used in calcium supplements and high-density calcium tablets. Some nano-calcium carbonate is used in drug delivery systems.

7. Feed Industry

As a calcium source supplement, it is added to poultry and livestock feed to promote animal bone development and eggshell formation, especially playing a significant role in improving eggshell quality in laying poultry.

8. Construction Industry

Used in artificial stone, stone-plastic flooring, cement products, and sealants to improve the strength, durability, and stability of materials. Some nano-calcium carbonate is used in high-performance concrete and new building materials.

9. Environmental Protection

Used in wastewater treatment to adjust pH and adsorb heavy metal ions; in flue gas desulfurization, it can absorb sulfur dioxide, reducing air pollution.

10. Daily Chemical Industry

It is an important raw material for daily chemical products such as toothpaste and cosmetics. In toothpaste, it is used as an abrasive, and in cosmetics, it is used for whitening and filling.

11. Electronics Industry

In electronic materials such as plastic films and cable insulation layers, it is used as a filler to improve insulation performance, heat resistance, and dimensional stability.

12. New Energy Field

Some research explores its application in new energy technologies such as zinc-air batteries, radiative cooling materials, and thermal energy storage materials.
