While natural calcium carbonate makes up a significant portion of the Earth’s crust, the raw material of PCC (Precipitated Calcium Carbonate) undergoes a specific chemical transformation process to achieve its high purity and controlled properties. Unlike its mined counterpart, PCC is a synthetic product derived from limestone, but only after it is processed through high-temperature calcination and subsequent carbonation to achieve a level of refinement unattainable through simple grinding.
