High Whiteness Heavy 800 Mesh CACO3 - Ultra-Fine for Paint and Coating Applications
High Whiteness Heavy 800 Mesh Calcium Carbonate: Precision-Engineered Mineral for Premium Coatings
Optimizing Opacity, Cost Efficiency, and Sustainability in Modern Paint Systems
In an era where paint formulators demand both performance and profitability, our High Whiteness Heavy 800 Mesh Calcium Carbonate (CaCO₃) redefines mineral additives for coatings. Synthesized through advanced carbonation methodology and surface modification, this ultra-fine filler delivers unmatched brightness, dispersion stability, and functional versatility across waterborne, solvent-borne, and powder coating applications.
Advanced Manufacturing Process
Our proprietary carbonation process ensures superior crystallinity and particle uniformity:
1. High-Temperature Calcination
- Limestone calcined at 1,100–1,200°C to >98% CaO purity
- Energy-efficient rotary kiln design reduces CO₂ emissions by 18% vs. conventional methods
2. Precision Hydration & Screening
- Controlled slaking achieves optimal hydroxide slurry viscosity (2,500–3,000 cP)
- 3-stage wet screening removes +45μm impurities
3. Gas-Liquid Carbonation
- CO₂ gas injection under 4.5–5.0 pH conditions
- Reaction temperature maintained at 60±2°C for uniform crystal growth
4. Surface Treatment & Micronization
- Stearic acid/zinc stearate coating (1.2–1.8% loading)
- Jet milling to D₉₈ ≤18μm (equivalent to 800 mesh)
Quality Control Protocols:
- Inline laser particle size monitoring (ISO 13320)
- Automated whiteness tracking (ISO 2470-2)
- Batch-wise ICP-OES metal impurity analysis
