Calcium Carbonate

Calcium carbonate's fine particle size and smooth particle morphology reduce inter-particle friction in powder blends, acting as a flow-promoting additive that prevents caking and bridging in storage and feeding equipment during agrochemical manufacturing.

Yes. Calcium carbonate is widely used as a carrier in biofertiliser formulations because its alkaline pH creates a favourable environment for many beneficial soil microorganisms. It also provides calcium nutrition and pH buffering in the soil.

Yes. Calcium carbonate is a source of calcium (Ca), an essential plant macronutrient critical for cell wall integrity, root development, and fruit quality. When used in agricultural formulations, it provides plant-available calcium while simultaneously improving soil pH.

For WP formulations, fine calcium carbonate grades with D50 of 5–15 microns and maximum particle size below 45 microns are preferred to ensure good dispersibility in water and uniform distribution of the active ingredient.

Yes. Fine calcium carbonate grades are used in seed treatment formulations as a carrier for fungicide and insecticide actives. Its inert nature does not harm seeds or seed germination, and its whiteness helps achieve good coating uniformity.
