Coatings

Calcium carbonate is used as the main extender in coating. Fineness and particle-size distribution can contribute to the high opacity of coatings.
Calcium carbonate reduces drying time in water-based systems, and offers improvements in weather resistance.
The product used in making paints is of low oil and water absorption and has a high opacity.

Animal Feeding

a) Poultry birds
b) Cattle
c) Sheep

Calcium carbonate produced by Gebal Minerals Limited acts as a calcium supplement in animal feed compounds. This helps in the formation of their skeletons and shells

Agriculture

Calcium fertilisers are mainly made from calcium carbonate. The mineral helps supply adequate calcium to plants and stabilises the pH-value of the soil.

Calcium carbonate has found an innovative application in the concrete market used as a quality filler to improve the concrete density, prestability and durability. Its stable colour quality increases the aesthetics which make it very suitable for architectural applications.
Can be used as medication, antacid as bulking agent and whitener.

Oil & Gas Drilling

Calcium carbonate serves as a bridging and weighing agent in drilling operations. Its primary function is to increase mud density and control fluid loss and density. Unlike barite, it is acid soluble, making it a preferred choice. Gebal offers a wide range of calcium carbonate in coarse, medium, and fine sizes for water treatment applications. It can be utilized in both oil-based and water-based fluid systems.

Industrial

a) Paper mills
b) Printing inks

It acts as a filler, coating pigment, and help produce papers with high whiteness, gloss and good printing properties.
The brightness of minerals ranges from 92-95%.

Nonwoven fabrics

Gebal's calcium carbonates offer tailored performance enhancements for Nonwovens & Fiber applications.

Our latest development in nonwoven and mineral technology is specifically engineered to reduce resin usage in production.

Experience the following benefits as a nonwoven manufacturer:

lower bonding temperatures, improved opacity, increased softness, enhanced filtration performance, high air permeability, and cost savings. Nonwoven users also enjoy advantages such as better printability, increased strength, easier dust removal, good water repellency, and improved filtration performance.

Medical

a) Tooth paste industries
b) Cosmetic industries

We manufacture calcium carbonate suitable for use in dental and cosmetic industries, which is determined by grade, brightness, and particle size distribution.

Environment

a) Flue gas desulphurisation
b) (Pollution Control)
c) Drinking water treatment
d) Waste water treatment
e) Forest and lake liming

As a natural product, calcium carbonate is perfect for environmental protection applications.
It has a natural buffer-effect and works as a pollution-filter and neutralisation of acid rain in forests and lake liming.
Calcium carbonate that is used in Flue gas desulphurisation to remove toxic gases before release to air is produced.

Plastic and Polymer

a) Plastic pipes
b) Rubber
c) Foamed latex
carpet-backings
d) Wires and cables
e) Sealants and adhesives.

The most important mineral for compounding with polymers is calcium carbonate. It accounts for more than 60% weight of the filler and reinforcements market.
When added as a filler, it helps reduce costs and extend petroleum based resources.

Fertilizers

Dolomatic lime, or calcium magnesium carbonate, is a mineral found in limestone crystals.

It is used in fertilizers to provide a balanced supply of calcium and magnesium to plants, promoting healthy growth and nutrient absorption.

Its application improves soil fertility, adjusts pH levels, and enhances overall plant productivity, making it an essential component in effective and sustainable farming practices.

Others

a) Glass
b) Ceramics
c) Black board chalk

As a natural mineral, calcium carbonate has a multitude of characteristics that make it an ideal raw material for widely differing uses. Diverse requirements such as low iron oxide content for the production of high-quality glasses.
We provide calcium carbonate that are used as stablisers to improve mechanical and physical properties of glass.
