Coated Calcium Carbonate (CaCO₃) is a surface-treated version of calcium carbonate that enhances dispersion, compatibility, and performance in polymers, coatings, rubber, and more. We manufacture and export high-purity coated CaCO₃ powders treated with stearic acid and other modifiers to meet industry-specific needs.
Coated calcium carbonate is ground or precipitated CaCO₃ with a surface layer of organic coating agents such as stearic acid or polymer surfactants. The coating enhances hydrophobicity, improves matrix compatibility, and supports better processing.

Learn more: What is the Difference Between GCC and PCC Calcium Carbonate?
Coated calcium carbonate is typically produced by:
Grinding high-purity limestone (for GCC) or precipitating (for PCC).
Applying a coating agent such as stearic acid in a controlled mixer.
Controlling temperature and rotation speed for optimal surface modification.
Quality testing for coating uniformity, particle size, and performance.
Our facility uses advanced surface treatment lines with real-time QC.
Plastics (PVC, PE, PP): Enhances strength, surface finish, and processing speed.
Rubber Compounds: Improves abrasion resistance and tensile properties.
Masterbatch: Excellent dispersion and flow behavior.
Paints & Coatings: Enhances scrub resistance and gloss.
Paper Industry: Optional use for paper filling and coating.
Others: Adhesives, sealants, cables, cosmetics.

Q: What is the CAS number for coated calcium carbonate?
A: CAS No. is 471-34-1 (same as uncoated calcium carbonate).
Q: What coating agents are commonly used?
A: Stearic acid is most common. Others include silanes, titanates, and polymer dispersants.
Q: Can I get MSDS for coated calcium carbonate?
A: Yes, full MSDS available upon request.
Q: What’s the difference between coated ground calcium carbonate and coated PCC?
A: GCC is mechanically ground; PCC is chemically precipitated. Both can be surface treated.
Q: Do you export globally?
A: Yes, we ship to 40+ countries across Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Africa.
