Industrial Minerals
Calcium Carbonate
Ground Calcium Carbonate · GCC · CaCO3
A versatile industrial mineral range available in uncoated micronized, coated and granulated forms, with grade selection driven by particle-size distribution, optical properties, oil absorption and application requirements.
Gallant's calcium carbonate portfolio spans fine micronized grades, surface-treated grades and controlled granulate distributions. The range supports applications across coatings, inks, paper and board, plastics and rubber, adhesives, PVC systems, polyesters, decorative plasters, flooring and insulation materials. Technical characteristics vary by grade, so selection should be based on the intended formulation and performance requirements.
