Calcium Carbonate (CAS NO : 1317-65-3)

It enhances mechanical strength, whiteness, and processing efficiency, reducing production costs while improving UV resistance.

It acts as a calcium supplement and antacid with high bioavailability and is used as an excipient in tablets and suspensions.

Suppliers offering Calcium Carbonate for food and pharmaceutical use require REACH registration, US FDA compliance, and ISO certification. Industrial grades may be subject to EPA regulations for water treatment applications.

Calcium Carbonate is extensively used as a mineral filler, pH regulator, and calcium supplement across pharmaceuticals, food processing, paints, construction, and polymer compounding industries.

When manufactured under IP/BP/USP standards, it meets the safety criteria for oral consumption and pharmaceutical excipients, including use in tablets, antacids, and supplements.

Offered in coarse, fine, microfine, and nano-particle grades, with mesh sizes ranging from 50 mesh to 5 micron, and purity often ≥ 98% depending on application.

Assay is generally ≥98.5% as CaCO₃, tested by titration or gravimetric methods. Food-grade material conforms to E170 and pharmaceutical-grade complies with IP/USP monographs.

Supplied with COA, TDS, and MSDS. Pharma-grade may also come with GMP, ISO 9001, FSSAI, and USFDA DMF references, depending on manufacturer.

Yes, when labeled as food/pharma grade and sourced from traceable origins with proper documentation, it is safe for use in infant formula and dietary supplements.

Typically packed in 25 kg HDPE/PP woven bags or bulk bags (500–1000 kg). Custom packaging like 20L bag-in-box to 1000L tote available for slurry forms.

It is thermally stable below 825°C but reacts with acids to release CO₂ gas. Ideal for acid-neutralizing applications or as a base filler in polymer systems.

Readily available in India, Scimplify with shipping lead times of 5–14 days depending on location and grade. Domestic inventories usually maintained for industrial customers.

Yes. Stearic acid-coated grades are available for plastic/rubber industries, while uncoated grades are preferred for pharmaceuticals, food, and paper applications.
