Kulu 40

Kulu 40

Kulu 40″ typically refers to Kulu 40 (Unfloated Calcium Carbonate), a versatile mineral compound used primarily as a filler, scouring agent, or reagent in various industrial and agricultural applications.

Industrial and Chemical Uses
Soap and Detergents: Kulu 40 is frequently added to soaps as a scouring agent to provide abrasive cleaning power. In the detergent industry, it serves as a cost-saving filler that provides bulk to laundry bars and powders.
Plastics and Polymers: It is used as a strengthening agent and filler in plastics, helping to improve stiffness and impact strength in products like PVC pipes and profiles.
Paints and Coatings: Kulu 40 is a white limestone filler used in paint applications for its high whiteness and mineralogical purity.
Glass and Ceramics: It acts as a fluxing agent and reagent in the chemical and glass manufacturing sectors.

Agricultural and Specialised Uses
Soil Restoration: High-purity calcium carbonate products like Kulu 40 are used to correct soil deficiencies and regulate pH levels.
Animal Nutrition: It is an essential additive in animal feed to support bone development, eggshell quality in poultry, and milk production in livestock.
Water and Air Treatment: it is used in water treatment to regulate pH and prevent corrosion of equipment, and in air treatment to convert sulfur dioxide into recyclable gypsum.
Breathable Films: It is utilised in the production of hygiene products like baby diapers and surgical gowns, where it helps initiate uniform cavities for moisture control.
