Buyer intent coverage
Micronized Calcium Carbonate Filler (1250 Mesh) — what it is, where it is used, how it is chosen
Fine ground calcium carbonate (GCC, CaCO3) is a mineral filler milled from natural limestone or marble. Fine grades are used in polyolefin filler masterbatch, rigid PVC compounding and film / sheet extrusion where dispersion, brightness and coating status matter.
Primary uses
- Polyolefin filler masterbatch dosing
- Rigid PVC compounding
- PP / PE film and sheet extrusion
- Sealant and adhesive extender
Applications
- Polyolefin filler masterbatch
- Rigid PVC pipe, profile, fittings
- PP / PE film and cast sheet
- Sealants and adhesives
Advantages
- Cost-effective mineral extender improving stiffness and dimensional stability
- Coated (stearic-acid treated) grades disperse readily in polyolefin
- Batch documentation of brightness and coating status
Limitations to consider
- GCC is not PCC — natural milled vs chemically precipitated — different price bands and behaviours
- Coated and uncoated grades are formulation-critical decisions, not interchangeable
- Very high loadings shift processing torque and mechanical properties
How to choose the right grade
- Coated (stearic-acid treated) for polyolefin masterbatch and PP / PE film
- Uncoated for rigid PVC and cost-driven applications tolerating higher polar surface
- Fine grade for film / sheet and cosmetic surface applications
- Match particle-size distribution and brightness band to the finished-product spec
Typical grades
- Coated fine GCC (stearic-acid treated)
- Uncoated fine GCC
- High-brightness fine GCC (marble-source)
Comparable materials — how Micronized Calcium Carbonate Filler (1250 Mesh) sits against alternatives
- Precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) — finer, engineered, higher price band
- Talc — different mechanical profile, higher aspect ratio
- Kaolin — different rheology and price

Technical & commercial reference
Micronized calcium carbonate filler — how buyers specify and compare offers
Filler selection is a mechanical-property trade: fineness, coating status and loading decide whether cost per kilogram of compound falls without breaking the process window.
Selection
How the right grade is chosen
- Particle-size distribution — top-cut matters more than the nominal mesh number for thin film
- Coated (usually stearate-treated) vs uncoated, which changes dispersion and moisture pick-up
- Whiteness and brightness where the finished article is visible
- Moisture content, which drives venting and screw-design requirements
- Realistic loading limit for the process, not the theoretical maximum
Specification
What to state in the enquiry
- Mesh grade and D50 / top-cut
- Coating type and coating level
- Whiteness value and measurement basis
- Moisture and residue on sieve
- CaCO3 assay
Procurement
Sourcing considerations
- State the process and film gauge in the enquiry — a 1250-mesh grade suits different work than an ultrafine grade
- Ask for TDS plus batch COA for the offered grade
- Where food-contact end use applies, resolve documentation before the grade is fixed
- Grade, specification, documentation, packaging, availability and delivery terms are confirmed against supplier documentation with each quotation.
Comparison
Comparing competing offers
- Compound cost per kilogram at the loading the line can actually run
- Filter-pressure and screen-change behaviour
- Consistency of top-cut between batches

About this product
Micronized Calcium Carbonate Filler (1250 Mesh) — product overview
F-FF1250 is a ground calcium carbonate (GCC) filler intended for polyolefin and PVC compounding where the buyer requires a fine, consistent particle-size distribution and controlled moisture. GCC is milled from natural limestone or marble; commercial selection is driven by mean particle size, top-cut, brightness and whether the surface is coated (typically with stearic acid) for improved dispersion and reduced melt viscosity in polyolefin masterbatches. Coated vs uncoated status, particle-size distribution and brightness values are confirmed against the batch TDS/COA at RFQ — we do not publish numeric specifications without the supplier document on file.
Document & COA status
- • TDS: Verified product TDS available below.
- • SDS: Safety data is subject to grade and supplier confirmation. One SDS does not necessarily apply to every grade or supplier.
- • COA: Certificate of Analysis is provided against the confirmed shipment, grade and batch. No stock, lead-time or regulatory claim is implied without written confirmation.
Pricing & Market Factors
What drives the price of Micronized Calcium Carbonate Filler (1250 Mesh) in Canada
Current pricing is confirmed through a live quotation because industrial material costs depend on grade, volume, origin, packaging, freight and delivery location, and move with global commodity, ocean-freight and CAD/USD cycles. Allzone does not publish spot prices — the drivers below help you frame the RFQ.
- Coating status. Coated (stearic-acid treated) GCC prices above uncoated because of the added stearate step.
- Particle size & brightness. Fine grades and high-brightness (>95 GE) lots price above standard.
- Volume & freight. GCC is freight-sensitive — landed cost is dominated by ocean and inland freight.
- Origin. Marble-source vs. limestone-source GCC affects brightness and price.

Buyer FAQ
Questions Canadian buyers ask about Micronized Calcium Carbonate Filler (1250 Mesh)
What is ground calcium carbonate (GCC)?
GCC is calcium carbonate (CaCO3) milled from natural limestone or marble. It is the workhorse mineral filler for polyolefin masterbatches, rigid PVC compounding and film / sheet extrusion, chosen for particle size distribution, brightness and coating status.
What is the difference between coated and uncoated calcium carbonate?
Coated GCC is typically surface treated with stearic acid to improve dispersion in polyolefins and reduce melt viscosity in masterbatches. Uncoated GCC is more common in rigid PVC and where the downstream process tolerates the higher polar surface. Coating status is a formulation-critical decision.
What is the difference between GCC and PCC?
GCC is natural, milled calcium carbonate. PCC (precipitated calcium carbonate) is chemically engineered to a finer, more controlled particle geometry. They are separate product families with different prices and processing behaviours — not interchangeable on a like-for-like basis.
Do you supply calcium carbonate in Ontario, Quebec and the GTA?
Yes. Allzone supplies GCC filler grades to polyolefin compounders, PVC extruders and packaging film manufacturers across Ontario, Quebec and the rest of Canada. Coating status, packaging and freight mode are confirmed at RFQ.
What information should a calcium carbonate quote request include?
State the base resin and process, target loading level, required particle-size distribution and brightness range, coating preference (coated vs uncoated), packaging (25 kg bag or 1000 kg jumbo bag), destination and monthly volume.
