Calcium Carbonate “CaCO3” is one of the natural
resources substances wide spread all over
the world.
Saudi Lime Industries quarries have the best Limestone deposits in the region, and produces them in variety sizes with purity ranging between 97 and 99% of Calcium Carbonate with as low as 1% of Silica and 0.1% of iron oxide. This is among the many reasons why the Company is able to offer unrivalled solutions including a superior chemical-grade limestone that meets broad spectrum of industrial and non-industrial applications and demands.
The Stones are selected meticulously with the least impurities; next they would undergo further processing, such as Crushers for scrapping to appropriate granule sizes per the determined industry in demand, or moving it further to special Mills with classifiers to segregate the various sizes separately and ultimately preserved readily for supply.
