Overview

Calcium, in every form you need.

Limestone is the most versatile industrial mineral on earth — fluxing agent for steel, raw material for cement, acid-neutraliser in agriculture, filler in paint and plastic, and precursor to virtually every calcium-derived chemical.

VAMM supplies both imported Omani limestone (54-55% CaO, lowest SiO2) and domestic Indian limestone from Rajasthan, Andhra and Madhya Pradesh — crushed to contracted size fractions ranging from 0-2mm dust to 40-80mm lumps.

Movement by coastal vessel, rake or road — with independent QC at each hand-off.

Applications

Where limestone works.

Cement Clinker

Primary raw material in OPC and PPC cement manufacture — roughly 80% of clinker feed by mass.

Steel Flux

Basic flux in blast furnaces and basic oxygen furnaces — binds silica and phosphorus impurities into slag.

Chemical Manufacture

Calcium carbonate precursor for PCC, calcium chloride, calcium hypochlorite and lime chemicals.

Construction Aggregate

Crushed stone aggregate for road base, ready-mix concrete and asphalt paving.

Desulphurisation

Powdered limestone for FGD (flue-gas desulphurisation) in coal-fired power plants — environmental compliance.

Agricultural Lime

Soil-pH correction for acidic agricultural land — calcium and magnesium nutrient supplementation.

Variants

By origin and by size.

By Origin

OMN · GCC

Omani Limestone

55% CaO average, low SiO2. Consistent, seaborne-friendly parcels from Salalah and Sohar.

CaO 55%SiO2 <1%Oman
IND · DOM

Domestic Limestone

Rajasthan, AP and MP origins — CaO 52-54%, competitive freight for domestic Indian consumers.

CaO 52-54%India
UAE

UAE Limestone

Fujairah & Ras Al Khaimah origins — supplementary GCC supply when Omani lay-cans are tight.

CaO 54%UAE

By Size

0-2mm

Powder / Dust

Ground limestone for FGD, animal feed, agricultural lime and fine-filler applications.

2-6mm

Aggregate Fines

Fine aggregate for ready-mix concrete, asphalt production and construction blends.

10-40mm

Construction Grade

Classic aggregate size — road base, railway ballast, and kiln feed at smaller cement plants.

40-80mm

Metallurgical Lumps

Large lumps for direct blast-furnace charging and cement rotary kiln feed.

80-150mm

Oversize Lumps

Where customer crushes in-house — oversized material, lowest delivered cost per tonne.

Quality & Certifications

Calcium assay at every shipment.

Every parcel tested for CaO, MgO, SiO2, Fe2O3, Al2O3 and LOI before dispatch. Reactive lime index available on request for steel-flux contracts.

Omani shipments carry Sultanate-of-Oman export certification plus SGS load-port inspection. Domestic rakes include mine-sampling certificate and Indian Bureau of Mines grade compliance.

Why VAMM Limestone

Six reasons cement & steel trust us.

01

GCC + Domestic

Parallel supply from Oman and India means the best delivered-cost for any plant location.

02

Consistent CaO

54%+ CaO standard — chemistry never shifts more than ±0.5% between deliveries.

03

Any Size

In-house crushing and screening — customer-specified fraction delivered, consistent lot to lot.

04

Clean Stockpiling

Covered storage and first-in-first-out stack management — no cross-contamination with other minerals.

05

Flexible Lay-can

Multi-origin supply means lay-can flexibility — we meet your window, not the other way around.

06

Long-term Programmes

Annual tenders, quarterly programmes, spot — structured around your cement kiln or steel furnace run-rate.
