Calcium Carbonate

• Construction Concrete Admixture Filler Materials

  For various reasons, Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) is a widely used mineral additive filler in construction applications such as ready-mix concrete, concrete admixtures, and dry-mix pre-bagged mortars.

  Here are several reasons why it is used:

  • Enhances properties of building materials: Calcium Carbonate improves the properties of building materials by adding strength, rigidity, and durability. It also enhances the resistance of the materials to heat, moisture, and other environmental factors.
  • Reduces cost: Calcium Carbonate is a low-cost additive filler compared to other mineral fillers.
  • Improves workability: Calcium Carbonate enhances the workability of concrete mixtures and dry-mix pre-bagged mortars by providing lubricity. This makes it easier to handle and apply these materials during construction.
  • Provides aesthetic benefits: Calcium Carbonate can also benefit building materials. It can improve the color and texture of materials, making them more visually appealing.
