Overview

White, bright, and endlessly useful.

Calcite is crystalline calcium carbonate — the industrial world's most cost-effective white filler and extender. VAMM's calcite is mined from Rajasthan's Banswara and Udaipur deposits, with purity above 98% CaCO3 and ISO-measured brightness of 95+.

Our range covers lumps (crude calcite), coated and uncoated Ground Calcium Carbonate (GCC) in multiple particle sizes — from 200 mesh down to D50 2 micron for the most demanding paint and plastic applications.

Supplied in 50-kg bags, 1-tonne jumbo bags, and in 24-tonne bulk tanker — domestic dispatch or export containers.

Applications

Where calcite works.

Paint & Coatings

Extender and opacifier in decorative paints — reduces TiO2 demand while maintaining hide and brightness.

Plastics & PVC

Filler in PVC pipes, fittings, cable sheathing and profile extrusions. Coated grades improve dispersion.

Paper Manufacturing

Filler and coating pigment — improves opacity, brightness, and print quality in paper production.

Rubber

Reinforcing filler in tyre sidewalls, hoses and moulded rubber goods — reduces material cost.

Adhesives & Sealants

Thickener and rheology modifier in mastics, caulks, and construction adhesives.

Ceramics & Glass

Raw material in tile glazes, ceramic bodies and specialty-glass formulations.

Variants

By particle size & coating.

LUMP

Crude Calcite Lumps

Mined lumps 10-150mm — for onsite grinding by ceramic and rubber manufacturers.

Why VAMM Calcite

Six reasons processors stay with us.

01

Brightness 95+

ISO-measured whiteness at 95 minimum — critical for paint, paper and plastic applications.

02

Narrow PSD

Tightly controlled particle distribution — predictable dispersion in customer formulations.

03

Coated & Uncoated

Both formats from single source — no compatibility risk between trial and production batches.

04

Low Iron Content

Fe2O3 below 0.05% — no yellow tint bleeding into white paint or premium plastic.

05

Any Pack Format

50-kg bag, 1-tonne jumbo, or 24-tonne bulk tanker — matched to your plant intake system.

06

Mine-Direct

Owned-mine sourcing from Rajasthan — no intermediary margin, full chain traceability.
