Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (Pcc)

Gulshan Polyols Ltd produces over 19 grades of Calcium Carbonate (Precipitated, Activated, Ground Natural Calcite Powder and Wet) used in various industries.  Four of GPL's facilities, spread across the country, are dedicated to manufacturing Calcium Carbonate with an integrated capacity of 1,85,000 MTPA. Facilities have in-house microbiology laboratory with extensive R & D facility and are backed by 7MW captive power plants. GPL has imported classifiers from IVA Industrieberatung GmBH, Germany, for Ground Natural Calcite Powder. In order to make it-self eco-friendly, all facilities have clarifiers to recover maximum solids and waste water discharge. Our plants are located at:          Muzzafarnagar, U.P.          Bharuch, Gujarat           Dhaula Kuan, H.P. Packaging: Packaging is done in different denominations such as 25 Kg / 50 Kg / 1000 Kg in HDPE /Paper bags as per customer requirement. WGCC is packed in both liquid bulk tankers and barrels. Facts about Calcium Carbonate: Precipitated Calcium Carbonate is manufactured by calcination of best quality Limestone. Activated Calcium Carbonate is produced by surface coating the Precipitated Calcium Carbonate with Stearic Acid, Titanate Coupling Agent, etc. www.gulshanindia.com  Applications of Calcium Carbonate: PVC & Cable: PCC improves the base properties of polyvinyl chloride by adding stiffness to the polymer matrix and improves impact resistance. It also improves mechanical properties (tensile strength and elongation) and electrical properties (volume resistivity). Polypropylene compounds are often filled with calcium carbonate to increase rigidity, a requirement that becomes important at high use temperatures. PAINTS: PCC is used as an extender in paints, in particular matte emulsion paint. It provides a greater covering strength, thus increasing the performance of high quality paints, oil synthetic and other coatings. It contributes to the opacity and that the paint will cover, without dripping, the surfaces. DENTRIFICE: Toothpaste and tooth powder manufacturers use PCC as a cleaning-polishing agent, with benefit of fluffiness due to low Bulk Density. PCC also offers different water absorption options, which enables the manufacturers to choose most suitable option to maintain desired water content in the toothpaste. DETERGENTS: PCC is used as a mineral filler to improve the consistency and dryness of the final mass of Detergent. RUBBER: PCC maintains flexibility and increases resistance to torsion and traction thus improving mechanical and electric characteristics. PLASTICS: PCC is valued for its high brightness and light scattering characteristics in paper filling and coating applications.
