Company Details

We are a registered UK company with operations currently in Germany.

Our process is for transforming waste minerals into a new high value material which can be used in large, stable end markets such as paper, polymers, sealants and adhesives, paints and coatings, inks, photovoltaic glass, and life sciences. There are considerable opportunities for production cost savings in reformulating using CalciTech’s SCC. These markets are also looking to improve the sustainability of their processes by using raw materials that have been recycled and have a lower carbon footprint (eco-minerals). The CalciTech process meets all these requirements.

The new material brings value while providing cost saving opportunities by:

• enabling higher filler loadings that reduce the amount of costly polymers
• reduced use of costly titanium dioxide and specialist clays
• increased product performance in terms of whiteness, gloss and opacity
• increased process efficiencies.

Sustainable Calcium Carbonate (SCC), is produced using a patented process from lime (calcium oxide or hydroxide) and carbon dioxide. The SCC is exceptionally pure and of a unique particle size and shape which bring excellent rheological characteristics as well as the benefits of higher brightness, whiteness, opacity and gloss over existing forms of calcium carbonate. These qualities enable SCC to compete with high priced white minerals such as titanium dioxide, aluminium silicate, calcined clay, and specialist kaolins. This positions SCC above commodity minerals such as Ground Calcium Carbonate (GCC) and Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) and kaolin.
