Product Overview
Limestone powder is produced by crushing and fine grinding natural sedimentary limestone rock. At our Pindwara plant in Rajasthan, raw mineral feeds are milled and screened to target fineness for diverse industrial applications.
As a versatile source of calcium carbonate, it provides bulk density, compaction strength, and chemical reactivity at an economical procurement cost. In animal husbandry, it serves as calcium grit; in road construction, it fills mineral voids in hot-mix asphalt; and in dry mortars, it stabilizes hydration.
