Holcim France has taken a majority share in Carbocia
By joining the Holcim Group, Carbocia strengthens its position as a key player on the French...
Micronized limestone has to meet specific criteria, which differ from one sector to another. Our laboratory analyzes it to make sure that the intrinsic properties of the raw material in question is in line with the standards required by the relevant sector.
Consistency and uniformity, particle size, whiteness, calcium content, flowability, Methylene Blue Value, oil absorption value - our fillers are selected for their ability to perform all functions required of them in a range of industrial applications.
Our products increase viscosity when mixed with rubber and other compounds or plastic composites.
Relative neutralizing value, high solubility, specific chemical properties and an IPA value (a method of calculating the correct soil improvers to use for your specific requirements) that enables base saturation greater than or equal to 90%.
Oil absorption values, flowability and particle size are critical factors in producing top-quality bituminous mixtures.
Our fillers have a high – and stable - calcium content, are of appropriate particle size and boast good flowability, meaning they are perfect for a range of uses in this field.
Our fillers’ Methylene Blue Value, specific surface area measurement using the Blaine method, particle size and whiteness combine to make them into quality, highly-versatile products.
We sell top-quality limestone fillers extracted from the Carrières de la Vallée Heureuse quarry in France’s Pas-de-Calais area. The intrinsic physical and chemical propertiesof our limestone and our micronization techniques are of major benefit to many industries. We shift our focus and adapt our products to keep pace with ongoing technological progress thanks to our partner CVH’s laboratory.
Our products
Our limestone has a content of over 96% CaCO3. This extremely high level allows us to meet the specifications of the industrial and agricultural sectors. The particle size of our fillers meets all relevant product requirements and complies with all standards and regulations currently in force.
