Applications
Calcium Carbonate for Paper & Printing
Okay Micron is one of the leader suppliers for Calcium Carbonate for paper. A bright white Calcium Carbonate added to paper pulp as a filler in alkaline papers or applied as a coating pigment. It is used in alkaline papermaking, which is receiving increased interest due to the longer longevity of alkaline papers. Calcium Carbonate is the most abundant mineral on earth that is not silicon-based. Calcium Carbonate is also used as a white pigment in many printing inks. It can be coated to impart greater gloss to the ink surface. It is low in cost, and is commonly used as an extender in place of the more expensive Titanium Dioxide. Calcium Carbonate is used in paper mill as a filler material in the alkaline papermaking process. Nowadays Calcium Carbonate is dominant over other papermaking filler materials. The main reason behind the preference of Calcium Carbonate is the demand for brighter and bulkier paper. There are significant benefits to the use of Calcium Carbonate in the alkaline papermaking process. Usually Calcium Carbonate occurs in three natural forms such as Limestone, Chalk and Marble. Naturally it is formed between the reactions of Calcium salt and Carbon dioxide. This process is still going on in the oceans. There are two types of Calcium Carbonate used in paper mill Ground Calcium Carbonate (GCC) and Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC). Ground Calcium Carbonate is manufactured by grinding Limestone or Marble because of their high brightness and purity. Generally the particle shape of Ground Calcium Carbonate is rhombohedral. This filler material is used in alkaline wood free paper making processes. The brightness of GCC is 86-95%. Okay Micron uses the most advanced techniques and methods to support the development of the most cost-effective, highest-performance coating formulations to meet the customer//s manufacturing and quality requirements. With the Okay Micron R&D team, the top quality Calcium Carbonate products have been developed to serve a wide range of paper manufacturing in a very efficient manner.

Calcium Carbonate for Film
Okay Micron calcium carbonate is currently used to enhance mechanical properties and improve productivity in a wide variety of film applications. Okay Micron Calcium carbonate can boost the output of processing lines while achieving improved impact strength and higher stiffness. The major benefits of Okay Micron calcium carbonate in film include: Increased specific output Faster heating and cooling Higher production line speed Enhanced machine uptime Lower raw material costs Higher stiffness High dispersion Lower film density Higher opacity
Calcium Carbonate for Rubber
Ground calcium carbonate is used in a wide variety of rubber applications as both an extender and detackifier agent. In other calcium carbonate rubber applications, it can add stiffness or provide abrasion resistance to our calcium carbonate use in the rubber industry. application like:- Shoes & Slipper sole, Tyre tube straps, Floor Tiles, Mat, Conveyor, Belts Hoses tubes R.P. granules etc. Application : As a reinforcing filler and improves strength as well as whiteness. It imparts stiffness to non cured rubber products.
Calcium Carbonate Minerals for Oil & Gas Drilling
Okay Micron calcium carbonate is used as a Bridging and a weighing agent used in drilling. It is used to increase mud density and is preferred to Barite as it is acid Soluble. It is grinded in three sizes Coarse, Medium and Fine is essentially a Bridging and a weighing agent for controlling Fluid loss and Density. It can be used in both oil based and water based Fluid Systems. Okay Micron product is used essentially as a weighing agent whereas used for bridging and seepage control Advantages: Acid Soluble and helps in clean up Effective bridging agent, Inert and relatively insoluble Excellent Weighing agent Available in 3 grades : Coarse ,Medium and Fine so the most suitable size can be used to Suit exact application. Okay Micron Provides a wide range of calcium carbonate of different size for water treatment.
