Calcite Powder Manufacturer in Rajasthan
Snow Green Minerals manufactures calcite powder from our processing facility in Rajasthan, supplying plastics, paint, rubber and construction manufacturers across India. Calcite powder is a finely milled form of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) valued for its whiteness and purity, and the properties that matter most to buyers — low oil absorption, smooth surface finish, good impact resistance, dimensional stability and compatibility with polymers — depend on getting the milling and grading right. That’s the part of the process we control closely at our Rajasthan facility.

What Is Calcite Powder?
Calcite powder is a finely ground crystalline form of calcium carbonate, typically white or colourless, derived from natural sources such as limestone, marble and chalk. Because calcium carbonate is used so widely across industry, calcite powder is manufactured to different mesh sizes depending on its end use — a coarser grade for construction fillers, a finer grade for plastics and paints.
Colour Characteristics
Calcite powder usually appears white or colourless. Minor shade variation can occur where natural impurities or mineral inclusions are present in the source rock, but this doesn’t affect the powder’s functional performance.
Industrial Applications of Calcite Powder
1. Manufacturing (Paints, Plastics, Rubber, Paper, Ceramics)
Calcite powder is used across paint, plastic, rubber, ceramic and paper manufacturing to improve product performance and finish.
2. Construction
As a filler in concrete and mortar, calcite powder improves strength, durability and workability.
3. Agriculture
Used as a soil conditioner, calcite powder neutralises acidic soil and supplies calcium for plant growth.
4. Pharmaceuticals
Calcite powder is used as a filler in tablets and capsules and also serves as a calcium supplement.
5. Food & Beverage
As food additive E170, calcite powder (calcium carbonate) regulates acidity and adds calcium fortification.
