Calcium carbonate is one of the most widely used chemical products in various industries (especially plastic industries), which is considered as a very useful mineral. This product is used in the industry both as a masterbatch (combined with other components) and as a powder. To buy calcium carbonate, the first step is to know enough about different types of calcium carbonate, their characteristics and their uses. In addition, knowing the exact price of calcium carbonate, which is usually affected by currency price fluctuations as well as global prices, helps the buyer a lot in choosing the most suitable option. On this page, we will review some important points that will make you a pleasant experience in buying calcium carbonate.

What points should we follow to buy calcium carbonate?

In nature, calcium carbonate can be found as limestone. In fact, this mineral is created on the ground due to the formation of sediment over the years. Calcium carbonate is also abundantly found in pearls and the shells of some marine organisms.

Due to the increase in the consumption of this mineral in various industries in recent years, this concern has arisen for some calcium carbonate customers that how can they ensure the high quality and proper purity of the calcium carbonate they buy?

The fact of the matter is that you should buy calcium carbonate in consultation and under the supervision of an expert in mineral and chemical materials, and by preparing a sample and performing tests on the sample product, after ensuring its quality, you should buy calcium carbonate on a large scale. do One of the effective factors in the quality and cost of calcium carbonate is the mesh number of this mineral. There are usually between 200 and 2500 meshes in the final product of this mineral.

To buy and sell calcium carbonate, you should note that the price of calcium carbonate is different per kilogram and per ton. Therefore, we suggest that you first get a correct assessment of your business’s need for this mineral. If the consumption of calcium carbonate in your collection is high, it is better to purchase this product in bulk so that its cost is affordable for you. Our colleagues in the sales unit are ready to inform you of the price of calcium carbonate per kilogram or per ton, while guiding you to get more information about this mineral.

Calcium carbonate masterbatch (granules)

One of the most widely used forms of calcium carbonate is its granular form. The use of calcium carbonate masterbatch brings several major advantages for producers. The first advantage is its easy portability. The granule is easy to transport and does not have the problems and troubles of the powder form of the product. Another advantage that this product has over other forms is the easy processability of calcium carbonate granules. When powder is used in the production of products, in addition to spreading the powder in the factory space, the loss of the raw material is also very high. Therefore, most of the plastic industry manufacturers prefer to use calcium carbonate granule form instead of its powder.

Application of calcium carbonate in plastic production industries

There are various polymers that are created from the combination of calcium carbonate with other chemical substances, which can be referred to materials such as PVC, polystyrene and polypropylene. To make the application of these materials tangible in our daily life, we must mention the products that are produced from these materials. Some of these materials include: single-use containers, floor cables, sewer pipes and film sheet production tanks and masterbatch making.

Calcium carbonate as filler

Paper consists of a cellulose network, whose fibers are filled with fine mineral particles, coating materials are used to increase the quality of printing on paper in papermaking, and calcium carbonate can make up 5-50% of it.

Calcium carbonate can act as a pigment and reduce the need for polymer. Therefore, in PVC sheets, pipes and windows, it accounts for 5 to 35% of the composition. In dyeing, 10-35% of the volume of aqueous emulsions or solvents can be made up of calcium carbonate to reduce the amount of TiO2 consumed.

The price of calcium carbonate

One of the problems in determining the exact price of calcium carbonate is that the price of this product in our country is also affected and fluctuates with the fluctuations of the currency and global prices of this product. Since this product is available in two forms, powder and masterbatch, the factors affecting the price of each are different.

Price per ton of calcium carbonate powder

Calcium carbonate powder is sold as mineral and sedimentary calcium carbonate. Usually, the minimum sales amount of calcium carbonate powder is one ton, and amounts less than one ton are sold separately. Some companies sell mineral calcium carbonate by the body and sediment by the kilo for research purposes. The price of this product depends on the degree of purity, degree of whiteness and the type and size of the mesh. The finer the meshes, the higher the price of calcium carbonate powder. In addition, if the purity and whiteness of calcium carbonate is higher, the price of calcium carbonate will be higher.

The price of masterbatch (granules) of calcium carbonate

The price of calcium carbonate masterbatch is affected by various parameters. The first parameter is the quality of raw materials used in the production of this masterbatch; The higher the quality of the materials used in the production of calcium carbonate masterbatch, the higher its price. The second parameter in determining the price of calcium carbonate masterbatch is the polymer base used in it. The base of calcium carbonate can be polyethylene or polypropylene, which according to the price of these polymer materials, the price of the final masterbatch can also change. The third parameter that determines the price is what kind of carbonate powder, with what kind of wax and additives and how they are mixed in calcium carbonate masterbatches. Effective mixing of raw materials can have a great impact on the quality and price of the masterbatch. The last parameter is the percentage of calcium carbonate used in the masterbatch. Usually, calcium carbonate masterbatch contains 60-85% calcium carbonate powder. The price of calcium carbonate masterbatch can change under the influence of the percentage of powder used.
