Iceland Spar and Its Influence on Optical Research

Iceland spar( chemical composition is CaCO3),a colorless and transparent pure calcite crystal, is a unique natural mineral with exceptional optical properties. It has the highest birefringence and the strongest polarization performance among transparent minerals. This makes it irreplaceable as a natural crystal, which cannot be artificially synthesized. Iceland spar is an excellent optical and optoelectronic […]

Grinding and Classification Process of Heavy Calcium Carbonate Powder for Breathable Membrane

Heavy calcium carbonate powder is a typical low-carbon, environmentally friendly inorganic non-metallic mineral material. It is one of the important fillers for breathable membranes. In the preparation of breathable membranes, heavy calcium powder acts as a “porogen.” Through unidirectional or biaxial stretching, polyester matrix and heavy calcium particles separate. Micro-channels are formed between the filler

The Difference between Talcum and Calcium Carbonate as Plastic Filling

When formulating plastic masterbatches, understanding the difference between talcum and calcium carbonate is crucial for performance and economics. While calcium carbonate (specifically from calcite crystal ore) is the predominant filler used in most masterbatches, talcum powder is also a viable option. A key ​​difference between talcum and calcium carbonate​​ lies in ​​cost​​, with calcium carbonate

Exploring the Role of Calcium Carbonate in Pigments

As is well known, coatings generally consist of four basic components: film-forming substances, pigments, solvents, and additives. Pigments primarily provide color and coverage in coatings. Pigments can be divided into coloring pigments and functional pigments (also known as fillers). Coloring pigments provide color, while functional pigments, like Calcium Carbonate in Pigments, enhance thickness and functionality.

Orange Calcite

What are the Properties and Applications of Calcite ?

Calcite is a calcium carbonate mineral, commonly found in natural calcium carbonate. It is widely distributed and has various crystal shapes. These forms can be clustered crystals, granular, blocky, fibrous, stalactitic, or earthy. Striking calcite produces many square fragments, hence the name. Calcite Characteristics Calcite’s color varies depending on impurities, such as iron or manganese.
