ADHESIVES AND SEALANTS
Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) plays a critical role in improving adhesive and sealant formulations. A sealant is a viscous or thixotropic material which after curing changes into elastic rubber, it is used to provide a seal against air and gas leaks, and to reduce noise, dust, fire, fumes and leaks. An adhesive is a chemical […]
PAINT
Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) plays an important role in the improvement of paint formulations. The first layer or coating is obtained by mixing natural pigments with vegetable or animal oils, its application is intended, above all, for decorative purposes. The continuous development of technology and research in new materials (resins, additives, solvents or PCC itself) […]
CHEMICAL INDUSTRY
Has many applications such as a reagent; pH corrector, regenerator, lubricant or secant, making calcium products indispensable in this sector. The chemical industry is usually responsible for sinter compounds that later serve as an active ingredient or raw material in other productive processes (fertilizers, feed…) This sector covers all Calcinor products because they are able to offer a […]

PAPER INDUSTRY
Two main functions performed by two products supplied by Calcinor: regeneration of reactants with quick-lime, improving mechanical paper properties through the addition of PCC. Paper is a combination of mechanically or chemically treated vegetable fibres. Its first production dates back to the year 100 A.D and its process has undergone many changes and advances, making […]
METALLURGY
Calcium based products act as a flux, scorifier and tuner of alloy composition. We also have refractory concretes for the aluminium smelting industry. Metallurgy encompasses a set of techniques to extract metals, such as copper, zinc, lead, silver, nickel, uranium, and gold from the minerals that contain them. Depending on the technique used in each […]
IRON AND STEEL INDUSTRY
Calcinor supplies the products necessary for success in the steel and iron making process, such as quick-lime, calcined dolomite and refractory materials. To obtain steel the base is iron ore or scrap metals. In both cases, Calcinor products are necessary to process and obtain the final raw steel with the desired composition. Committed to innovating the […]
