Calcium Carbonate is a versatile product. Its application is perhaps the only common factor across a very wide spectrum of industries. Our products find their application in plastics, synthetic and natural rubber, and adhesive & sealant industries.They are also used in various emulsions, paints and polishing agents, printing inks, and a variety of papers & paper based products. Pharmaceutical and cattle-food Industries use our products extensively. In the FMCG segment, our products are used in the manufacturing of a wide range of cosmetic products, chewing gums and powdered drinks.
