Ground Calcium Carbonate (GCC) is a fine, white powder with high calcium content, derived from natural mineral limestone. Its versatile properties make it a common option as a economical filler and extender in various manufacturing processes, enhancing the cost-effectiveness and physical attributes of final products. In addition, GCC's sustainable nature makes it an eco-conscious choice, promoting environmental responsibility and reducing the carbon footprint in production processes. 

Technical Benefits ​

GCC offers an array of technical benefits in various industrial applications. In paints and coatings, GCC enhances viscosity and imparts improved durability and weather resistance to the final product. For rubbers, GCC enhances tensile strength and tear resistance, contributing to superior performance. In papers and cartons, GCC acts as a coating pigment, enhancing printability and providing opacity and brightness. In plastics, GCC improves impact strength and contributes to a smoother surface finish, enhancing the overall mechanical performance of the plastic products. In adhesives and sealants, GCC ensures excellent bonding capabilities, making it an indispensable in​gredient for strong and reliable adhesive formulations.

Sustainability 

GCC revolutionises industries by transforming their products. With its fine particle size and excellent dispersion properties, GCC optimises material integration and processing efficiency, resulting in significant energy savings. By incorporating GCC as filler or extender, the final products become eco-friendly and more degradable, empowering our clients to make environmentally responsible choices and contribute to a sustainable future.

At Hakada, we are committed to providing diverse grades of GCC that not only meet industrial needs but also support a more sustainable and ​eco-conscious future for our clients and the planet.
