Calcium Carbonate is commonly used in paint and inks as an extender, to increase opacity and porosity for dry hiding. Formulating flexographic, gravure, lithographic or silk screen printing inks with PCC can improve quality whilst reducing costs.

Calcium carbonate is used for similar applications to GCC but the particle size is much finer and more closely controlled, allowing it to be used more for paper coating and surface finishing. It can be supplied coated with additives to improve gloss or aid bonding within the paper.

Calcium Carbonate is used as a fine and very consistently controlled filler/ extender, and also to help control the flow and mounding characteristics of fine components.

Ground calcium carbonate acts as both an extender and detacktifying agent in rubber. It is used in a wide variety of rubber applications as a filler in order to reduce the cost in rubber industry. GCC can also enhance the stiffness of rubber.
