Limestone, Calcium carbonateFunctionality
System:
Agricultural Carrier & Crop ProtectionFunction Description:
A finely ground calcium carbonate designed primarily as a dietary calcium supplement for animal feed and as a functional filler/extender. In feed it supplies bioavailable calcium and can be used as a bulk carrier or diluent in premixes industrially it functions as an inert filler to improve solids content, modify density and reduce formulation cost.Applications & Uses:
- Supplemental calcium source for livestock and poultry feed premixes
- bulk filler and carrier in feed formulations and premixes
- ingredient in animal nutritional supplements
- industrial filler for plastics/masterbatch, paper coatings, and other polymer composites where a fine, consistent calcium carbonate is required.
Benefits:
- FSMA-grade material suitable for animal feed applications
- high and consistent calcium content (38–39%)
- high acid solubility indicating good bioavailability
- controlled median particle size (~22 μm) and high -325 retention for predictable performance
- low moisture for stable storage
- consistent bulk density for accurate dosing and blending.
Performance Attributes:
- High calcium assay (38–39%) and high acid solubility (98.5–99%) indicate good calcium availability
- narrow median particle size (~22 μm) and high -325 mesh retention (82%) provide consistent handling and dispersion
- low moisture (0.1%) improves storage stability
- predictable loose and compacted bulk densities (55 / 80 lb/ft³) aid formulation and dosing
- specific gravity ~2.7 supports formulation calculations.
