Growing Usage Of Precipitated Calcium Carbonate
Quicklime is used as filler in adhesives and sealants in various industries. In addition, quicklime is mainly used as a major rheological additive in the manufacture of high-performance industrial products. Quicklime in the form of precipitated calcium carbonate is also used as calcium in the diet and is primarily used for liquid products where very small particle size is important. Many medicines and cosmetics contain precipitated calcium carbonate as a base material for tablets or filling chemicals, ointments, and creams.
Quicklime is commonly used in paints and inks as a bulking agent to increase the capacity and porosity of dry ceilings. It is used as a fine and highly consistently controlled filler and helps control the flow and shape characteristics of fine components. Quicklime can also be supplied coated with additives to improve gloss and support adhesion in the paper industry.
Furthermore, precipitated calcium carbonate used as quicklime makes the products stronger and is mined from limestone, which is used in different coatings. For this reason, growing usage of precipitated calcium carbonate is expected to act as a diver for the global quicklime market.
