light calcium carbonate for rubber

Light calcium powder, scientific name light calcium carbonate (chemical formula CaCO ∝), is a precipitated calcium carbonate material prepared by chemical synthesis. The production process mainly includes calcining limestone to generate calcium oxide, digesting and carbonizing it, or preparing it through the double decomposition reaction of sodium carbonate and calcium chloride, with a settling volume of 2.4-2.8 mL/g, significantly higher than natural heavy calcium carbonate. This substance is in the form of a white powder, non-toxic and non irritating, with a relative density of 2.7-2.9, fine and uniform particle size, and high oil absorption value. It has stable chemical properties and can decompose into calcium salts and carbon dioxide when exposed to strong acids.

 

As an industrial filler, light calcium powder is widely used in fields such as plastics, papermaking, rubber, coatings, etc. It can increase product volume, adjust processing rheology, and improve heat resistance and flame retardancy. In plastic products, its low-density characteristics can reduce surface roughness and equipment wear, making it suitable for the production of light colored products. Compared to similar materials, light calcium powder has both processing adaptability and cost advantages. Its surface characteristics and particle size distribution make it a fundamental material for multiple industries。
