Light Calcium Carbonate (PCC, precipitated calcium carbonate) is a food-grade fine, low-density calcium carbonate with high whiteness and small particle size, used in food, pharma and supplements.We supply bulk Light Calcium Carbonate sourced from leading China manufacturers, available in powder form to meet global food industry demand. Our Light Calcium Carbonate is widely used in calcium supplement tablets, filler, gI products, food calcium fortification and cosmetics.
Light Calcium Carbonate is produced by the carbonation method — dissolving calcium oxide in water to form Ca(OH)₂, then bubbling CO₂ through the slurry to precipitate fine CaCO₃ crystals.
The precipitated form has a lower bulk density, smaller particle size and higher whiteness than ground (heavy) calcium carbonate. Used as a calcium fortifier, antacid, filler and white pigment.
