About Chalk
Chalk is a soft, fine-grained limestone composed primarily of calcium carbonate, derived from marine microfossils. Industrial applications include paints, coatings, plastics, rubber, pharmaceuticals, and construction materials. Ground chalk and precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) represent the principal traded forms, with grades differentiated by brightness, particle size, and purity levels. France, the UK, and Mexico dominate global production and export markets. Buyers should verify calcium carbonate content (typically 95%+) and whiteness specifications, as impurities significantly affect end-product performance, particularly in coatings and pharmaceutical applications where ISO brightness standards are critical.
