Ground calcium carbonate (GCC) is cost-effective and has high brightness. It develops a porous surface on the paper sheet owing to its rhombohedral particle shape. Additionally, precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) is a low-cost mineral for the production of high-quality paper and paperboard through the substitution of huge costly additives, wood pulp, or other minerals. Coating PCC has benefits over GCC owing to its superior gloss and opacity. Calcium carbonate is often utilized in papermaking as a pigment or filler as it has high brightness.
PCC is utilized as filler as it holds properties including porosity which supports opacity and whiteness levels highly superior to those found using other non-synthetic fillers. Asahi Kohmatsu Co., Ltd. is one of the Japanese manufacturers that sell and offer a range of limestone material products, primarily calcium carbonate products, as well as granular products, limestone powder products, and more. The company also supports landscaping materials and industrial products. The company offers fine-grained MicronCal, the MC Series is a GCC product. The MC series is utilized in high added value areas to offer superior dispersibility. It has applications in paper, paint, agricultural chemicals, synthetic resin, and others.
