CALCIUM CARBONATES AT GMCI:
GMCI Calcium Carbonate overview:
The chemical compound that is found throughout the world comprises of more than 4% of the earth’s crust. Chalk, limestone, and marble are its most common natural forms.
Paint and Coating industry overview:
The paint and coating industry is the kind of industry where demand continues to rise in the world.
The two main functions of the coating industry are decoration and protection of old and new buildings. The main importance of the paint and coating is to improve the product life and to make the product valuable.
Because of the above reason, the paint and coating industry is increasing at a much faster rate.
The products offered by GMCI are of the best quality with the highest level of service. The minerals offered in the paint and coatings industry at GMCI are talc, calcium carbonate, Kaolin, mice, and dolomite.
“Calcium carbonates for high stability and gloss”
At GMCI, Calcium Carbonates are extensively utilized for the paint and coating industry in order to manufacture powder coatings and Emulsion paint. The calcium carbonates, with ideal distribution and high whiteness, enhance the processability features of the paint. The stability and gloss can be enhanced as it acts as an anti-setting mediator and an opacity agent.
High environmental resistance and improved performance:
Calcium carbonate has the main property of reducing and enhancing the gloss in the product. It is the most versatile inorganic filler. It is a non-toxic, odorless, non-irritating white powder. GMCI, being the pioneer in providing an extensive range of standards with high quality, makes sure that the products are free from adulterants and impurities. Calcium carbonate used in the paint and coating industry depicts the same as it is neutral in nature I.e.it is free from impurities.
There are various Uses of calcium carbonates in the paint and coating industry:
Heavy calcium:
It is a body pigment that has the ability to make the product fine, uniform, and white. The covering effect of the titanium dioxide can be improved when the particle size is close to the particle size of titanium dioxide. The dry hiding power in calcium carbonates uses ultra-fine products. It improves the strength, water resistance, dryness, and scrub resisting of the painting film.
The calcium also helps in improving the color retention of the paint which is mainly used in old and new buildings.
Light calcium:
Light calcium is equally important in the industry because it plays a role of anti-settling by using the suspension property moreover, the density of such calcium is low which helps in reducing the costs.
All in all, calcium carbonates act as an extender that either reduces or enhances gloss in the product because of which it can easily be modified. Calcium carbonates are most importantly used as Interior wall paints because it significantly improves the paint properties like sheen, opacity, and wear resistance.
It can also be used as an industrial product at GMCI. Industrial coatings are primarily utilized for protection against extensive environmental conditions by focusing on durability. Calcium carbonate is used to adjust the gloss level in the application such as powder coatings. The functional property of the calcium carbonate is increasing in importance as the market for adhesives and sealant products advance. Not only that, calcium carbonate is used in textured plasters that require coarse particles with high brightness to meet the optical needs of the customers.
At GMCI, the particular sector continues to excel due to the latest technology and resources.
Thus, the quality of the product says a lot when the best experience of the product is needed, and calcium carbonate used in the paint and coating industry is the depiction of the same with a wide range of customer experience.
