Our product

white ”Marmorino” calcium carbonate

• Our “Micronized Calcium Carbonate” is a“non metalliferous mineral” having a minutelyrombohedral crystalline structure, practicallypure and of exceptional whiteness, which ismicronized on the premises utilizing variousgrinding techniques to obtain grain sizesranging from 5 up to 120 µm..

• The physical and chemical properties of the productare assured. Raw material is extracted from thecompany's own mineral deposits, which originated 72million years ago during the Upper Cretaceous period.Systematic checks on grain size throughout the entireprocessing cycle ensure that the end productresponds fully to technical specifications.
