Chemical Name
Calcium Carbonate

Microblanc X-treme is a extremely white and fine crystalline CaCO3 with pigmentary properties. Due to its particle size distribution, formulators are able to reduce TiO2 significantly, retaining the whiteness, gloss and opacity levels. In colored systems the shades of colors are brilliant due to the very low yellowness value.
