Precipitated calcium carbonate and ground calcium carbonate products are used in many paint and ink applications as either a Functional filler or TiO2 extender. Paints, inks and coatings are versatile and require specific solutions in order to maximize their performance. Without raw materials such as pigments and fillers, performance would suffer. Calcium carbonate remains one of the most versatile materials used in modern paint and ink making today. Calcium carbonate improves the physical characteristics of finished products and helps to reduce production costs. White pigments like precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) offer a wide variety of qualities in terms of gloss, brightness, opacity or viscosity.
Mississippi Lime provides precipitated calcium carbonate products across a broad spectrum of particle sizes including: Magnum Fill® Slurry, Magnum Fill® Powder, Magnum Gloss Slurry® and Magnum Gloss® Powder.
