Calcium Carbonate

Key supply characteristics

  • B2B-focused supply of calcium carbonate for industrial and professional environments, not for private consumer orders through this page.
  • Typical industrial contexts can include use as a mineral filler or functional additive in construction materials, plastics, coatings, adhesives and related applications, with all technical decisions defined by each customer's internal standards and local regulations.
  • Supplied as part of broader industrial chemicals and raw materials programs, alongside products such as sodium hypochlorite, hydrochloric acid, caustic soda, propylene glycol, calcium chloride, citric acid, sodium bicarbonate, isopropyl alcohol, oxalic acid, phosphoric acid, magnesium sulfate, acetic acid and formic acid, depending on each customer's portfolio.
  • Product documentation, including specification sheets and safety data sheets, is available for business customers as part of the enquiry and RFQ process and is aligned with the agreed supply conditions.
  • Handling, storage, dust control and any application-specific conditions are defined and controlled by each customer in line with their own safety, environmental and regulatory obligations, including any site permits and industry guidance.

Product overview

Calcium carbonate is a mineral raw material widely used as a filler and functional ingredient in plastics, coatings, construction materials and other industrial formulations. Within RawChemix it is treated as a B2B product supplied to manufacturers, processors and compounders that already work with internal specifications, quality systems and application know-how for mineral fillers.

For each cooperation, calcium carbonate is discussed in terms of grade, particle size distribution, brightness, surface treatment, packaging format and logistics patterns that match the customer's production setup. RawChemix focuses on coordinated supply, documentation and consistent quality, while the selection of grades, formulation design, handling and use conditions remain the responsibility of each customer in line with their own technical standards, risk assessments and regulatory framework.

Typical industrial contexts

Plastics & polymers

Used by compounders and converters as a mineral filler and extender in plastic and rubber formulations, with loading levels, processing parameters and performance targets defined by the customer's own R&D and production teams.

Coatings & paints

Incorporated as a functional pigment and extender in industrial coatings, paints and sealants, where dispersion, particle size and surface properties are aligned with customer-specific formulations and application methods.

Construction materials

Applied in building materials such as dry mixes, adhesives, sealants and composites, with grade selection and dosage set by each manufacturer according to mechanical, durability and regulatory requirements.

Industrial formulations

Used as a mineral component in various industrial formulations where density, rheology and cost structure are managed by the customer, based on their own process design and compliance obligations.

Shipping & logistics

Planned ocean freight

Ocean freight solutions used for many bulk and contract shipments. Transit windows, routes and ports are reviewed during the RFQ process and agreed directly with each customer's logistics and supply chain teams.

Air freight for time-sensitive cases

Where appropriate, business customers may discuss air freight options for time-sensitive deliveries. Availability, routes and typical lead times are evaluated on a case-by-case basis as part of the commercial discussion.

Region-specific logistics

Logistics patterns for Australia, New Zealand, Asia, the Middle East and North America are aligned with each customer's existing supply chain, preferred ports, Incoterms and handling procedures.

Packaging, documentation & handling

Each shipment is arranged as an industrial B2B delivery. Packaging formats, documentation and handling expectations are discussed with the customer and confirmed during the RFQ and contract stages. In practice, a shipment typically includes:

  • Industrial-grade packaging formats agreed with the customer (for example bulk, IBC or drums, where applicable)
  • Technical documentation such as specifications and safety data sheets provided to business customers
  • Shipment and tracking information shared for supply chain visibility and coordination
  • Agreed insurance and risk allocation according to contract terms and applicable Incoterms

Handling, storage and any application-specific procedures are defined and implemented by each customer within its own safety, environmental and regulatory framework.
