Ground Calcium Carbonate (GCC) 

Kemira is a leading supplier of calcium carbonate dispersants and grinding aids. Our dispersants are based on low molecular weight acrylic polymers and copolymers with different molecular weights, molecular weight distributions and degree of neutralization.

Our products are designed to meet the needs of a large variety of GCC grades. We offer polyacrylate type grinding aids for coarse as well as fine GCC grades. These include polymers with narrow molecular weight distribution targeting production of fine GCC grades (>90% distribution less than 2 um; >65% less than 1 um). Kemira’s GCC dispersants provide the following benefits:
  • Higher yield possible compared to standard technology
  • Lower GCC slurry viscosity compared to standard technology
  • Improved aged viscosity compared to standard technology
  • Potential Energy saving, from faster grinding and higher yield
Our chemistries include biocides for preservation of GCC slurries. Our preservation experts can recommend the best biocide solution for your specific needs.
