Percipitated Calcium Carbonate

Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) also known as purified, refined or synthetic calcium carbonate. It has the same chemical formula as other types of calcium carbonate, such as limestone, marble and chalk: CaCO3. PCC used in several different areas of production such as the flooring, paint, and paper industry due to its mechanical and optical properties. Calcium carbonate is used in the paper industry both as a PCC filler and as a coating which allows for the paper to have such a pure white color.
