Calcite mainly contains calcium carbonate and dolomite mainly contains calcium magnesium carbonate. Dolomite differs from calcite because of the presence of magnesium. Calcite reacts quickly with acids and produce carbon dioxide bubbles. But dolomite is weakly reacting with acids producing bubbles very slowly Imported Calcium Carbonate Vs Indian Calcium Carbonate Indian mines lack purity (Caco3 %), whiteness and Brightness due to which in PVC pipe and Fittings and Plastic industries in India calcium carbonate powder of Vietnam, Egypt, Malysia origin is preferred by plastic manufactures. Even in paint and masterbatch industries the imported calcium carbonate powder gives better results compare to Indian counterpart. When the natural calcium carbonate powder is coated with Fatty Acids (Stearic Acid) or Zinc Stearate or Titanium Dioxide, the powder become coated. Generally, in market and PVC Pipe and fittings industries material coated with stearic acid is available.

Purity High Whiteness High Brightness High Impurity Low Hardness Low
