Key Facts
Primary Use Cases
Product Code: KIC-INO-002
Also known as: Calcium Carbonate, Ground Calcium Carbonate (GCC), Limestone Powder, Calcite Powder
Synonyms: CaCO3, Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC), Whiting
High-purity industrial Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) powder for plastics, paints, rubber, paper, building materials, and chemical processing in Kenya and East Africa.
Available Packaging
General Industrial Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) is a versatile mineral filler and extender pigment. Processed from natural high-whiteness limestone deposits, it provides high brightness, low oil absorption, and controlled particle size distribution for compounding into thermoplastics, architectural coatings, adhesives, and construction materials.
Natural crystalline ground calcium carbonate (GCC) containing 98.5% min CaCO3, high ISO brightness (≥92%), low moisture (≤0.3%), and low silica. Serves as a primary functional mineral filler across industrial sectors.
Specify mesh size (325 mesh, 500 mesh, or micronized) when submitting RFQ for bulk pricing.
Commercial Sectors
Kenya's plastics and PVC conversion sector—producing water pipes, electrical conduits, packaging films, and molded components—depends on precise compounding chemistry. Processing heat degradation, poor filler dispersion, and polymer brittleness can halt high-speed extrusion lines. KIKI'S supplies premium calcium carbonate extenders, plasticizers, lubricants, and PVC solvent cement reagents to leading converters.
Kenya's paints, decorative coatings, and wood finish manufacturing industry requires pure virgin solvents, high-brightness extender pigments, and specialized coalescing aids. A formulation is only as good as its raw materials: low-purity thinners cause pinholing and blushing, while coarse fillers destroy gloss and opacity. KIKI'S supplies premium solvents, extenders, and binders to East Africa's leading paint makers.
From gold leaching operations in western Kenya and mineral sand processing at the coast to major infrastructure and commercial concrete batching across East Africa, heavy extractive and construction industries require potent process chemicals. KIKI'S supplies technical leaching acids, concrete accelerators, grinding aids, and quarry dust suppressants engineered for demanding site conditions.
In manufacturing clusters across Nairobi, Athi River, and Baba Dogo, continuous production depends on reliable supply of process chemicals, boiler water conditioners, and high-flashpoint cleaning solvents. A production stoppage caused by boiler scale or a missing raw material costs millions of shillings per hour. KIKI'S provides the reliable chemical supply that keeps Kenyan manufacturing plants operating at peak output.
