Lime Stone Powder - Premium Quality Calcium Carbonate , Ideal For Soil Conditioning And Construction Applications

Our company is well recognized manufacturer, exporter, distributor, trader and supplier of premium quality assortment of Lime Stone Powder. Lime Stone is a sedimentary rock composed largely of the mineral calcite (calcium carbonate: CaCO3). The deposition of limestone strata is often a by-product and indicator of biological activity in the geologic record. Calcium (along with nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium) is a key mineral to plant nutrition, soils overlying limestone bedrock tend to be pre-fertilized with calcium. Limestone is a key ingredient of quicklime, mortar, cement, and concrete. The solubility of limestone in water and weak acid solutions leads to important phenomena.

Uses of limestone :
Lime stone is an important stone for masonry and architecture
The manufacture of quicklime (calcium oxide) and slaked lime (calcium hydroxide)
