Calcite is a high purity calcium carbonate mineral used as a critical raw material in a wide range of industries. As Anadolu Mikronize, the calcite products we produce at the highest quality and whiteness levels find important applications in various sectors.

Plastic and Polymer Industry

Calcite is widely used as a filler in the plastic and polymer industry. It improves the mechanical properties of plastic products, provides hardness and durability. It is also used to reduce production costs.

Paper and Cardboard Production

In the paper industry, calcite is used as a filler and coating pigment in paper and cardboard production. It increases the opacity, brightness and smoothness of the paper. It also improves print quality by regulating ink absorption.

Paints and Coatings

Calcite plays an important role as a pigment in the paint and coating industry. It increases the covering power of paints, provides a smooth appearance on the surface and reduces costs. At the same time, it extends the life of surfaces by increasing resistance to corrosion.

Building Materials

Calcite is also widely used in the production of building materials. It is used as an additive especially in cement, concrete, ceramic and glass production. It increases the strength and durability of these materials.

Agriculture and Animal Husbandry

Calcite is used as a soil regulator in the agricultural sector. It regulates the pH balance of the soil and facilitates the uptake of plant nutrients. In animal husbandry, it is used as a feed additive and supports the bone development of animals.

Chemical Industry

Calcite also has an important role in the chemical industry. Due to its calcium carbonate content, it is used as a raw material in various chemical processes. In particular, it is a basic component in the production of acid neutralization and calcium-based chemicals.

As Anadolu Mikronize, we offer the best solutions for various industrial applications with the calcite products we produce in high purity and quality standards. With its wide range of uses, calcite continues to gain value as one of the indispensable raw materials of modern industry.
