Calcium carbonate is one of the elemental raw
materials used in wide variety of industrial applications,
basically as fillers. In fact, the material is such a basic
raw material that the consumption of calcium carbonate is a
good indicator for the degree of industrialization of the
country. Its typical applications include : paper, paint,
plastics, rubber and pharmaceutical industries, just to name
a few.
Q-min is a trade name of Quality Minerals PCL’s calcium
