Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is one of the most abundant minerals on Earth. Its most natural forms are chalk, limestone and marble, differentiated in purity, whiteness, thickness, and homogeneity.
SAC manufactures Calcium Carbonate from both Limestone and Marble for various applications. The major applications catered by SAC’s Calcium carbonates are Oil & Gas drilling, Animal feed, Cement, Paint, Plastic, Industrial filler, Water treatment, Industrial raw material, etc.
SAC’s Oman factories manufacture acid soluble CaCOz in fully automated plants with close control over sizing and c assification *or use in Oil & Gas industry as Weighting, Bridging & Loss circulation control material.
