Product Details
🌟 What Is Light Calcium Carbonate?
Light Calcium Carbonate, also known as Precipitated Calcium Carbonate, is synthetically produced by reacting quicklime (CaO) with CO₂, resulting in a fine, white, low-density powder known for high purity and excellent dispersion.
Widely used where control over brightness, oil absorption, and particle morphology is crucial.
CAS No.: 471-34-1
Other Names: Light weight calcium carbonate, PCC powder
