Limestone Powder is used in more daily products than one might think. Limestone Powder is a sedimentary rock, formed by inorganic remains, such as shells or skeletons that have compressed for a very long time. Limestone powders are made by grinding the limestone in different mills. Limestone powders are used widely in different applications. It is also used as raw material for making limestone granules with the binder.
Limestone powder is a sedimentary rock composed primarily of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in the form of the mineral calcite. It most commonly forms in clear, warm, shallow marine waters. It is usually an organic sedimentary rock that forms from the accumulation of shell, coral, algal, and fecal debris.
The global Limestone market is expected to grow significantly at a CAGR of 6.02% during the forecast period, 2018-2023. The Asia-Pacific region is estimated to lead the market due to its rapid growth in the building & construction industries.
Limestone industry comprises companies that operate by manufacturing, production of mining or quarrying crushed and broken limestone. Limestone, often referred to as the world’s most versatile mineral, is an important raw material for various industries. According to US Geological survey, the crushed limestone production is the largest of three related industries that extract and process non-fuel, nonmetallic minerals.
