Dry ground calcium carbonate (GCC-Dry) Coarse - Sector EPD

 Calcium carbonate is a natural mineral. The formula is CaCO₃ andcovers a raw material, which is widespread throughout nature. However, althoughthe deposits are plentiful, only a few are of sufficiently high quality to be workedand even a fewer number of deposits will provide raw materials for industrialand agricultural use other than the construction and roads building industry.Only if the purity, degree of whiteness, thickness and homogeneity areacceptable, commercial extraction can be worthwhile. After quarrying, furthertreatment is required to process natural calcium carbonates of the highestquality, known generically as Ground Calcium Carbonate (GCC) into finalproducts.  

Main applications of calcium carbonate covered by the EPD: Construction/Architecture, Mortars, and Soil Stabilization.
