Uses of Calcium Carbonate

High-quality calcium carbonate is very versatile.

It is used e.g. for the production of chalk colour or table chalk. Mix calcium carbonate with water-based acrylic lacquer in a ratio of 2:1.

In the private sector it is also often used in horticulture, where it is known as lime or garden lime. The lime neutralizes the soil acid and nutrients can be better absorbed by the plants. As lawn lime calcium carbonate insulates the moss.

As a food additive (E170) it can be used for baking rolls.

Delivery

The carbonate is delivered in a sealed bag, which is inserted in a practical, resealable plastic bucket. The product is therefore stored in a sufficiently dark and dry place to maintain the high quality of the product permanently.
