PCC (Precipitated Calcium Carbonate)
PCC (Precipitated Calcium Carbonate), is synthetically produced from quicklime by chemical precipitation method. PCC is used as a functional mineral filler in many sectors, with its high CaCO3 content and low impurity, variety of crystal structure/morphology and homogeneous partical size distribution.
PCC can be produced in different morphologies according to its usage areas. Needle-shaped aragonite, scalenohedral, prismatic and rhombohedral structures are typical cyristal types of PCC.
What makes PCC unlike ?
Hence PCC is being produced by chemical methods, it is possible to get nano sizes and in different crystal shaped products which can not be achieved by mere grinding and the partical size distribution can be kept under control. These superiorities give PCC function and with the use of PCC production costs are decreased.
PCC adds some extra properties to the product such as strength, opacity, whiteness, brightness and viscosity regulation (thixotropy). Due to these properties, PCC is preferred to be used in many sectors like paint, plastic, paper, food, pharmacy, chemistry etc.
PCC Usage Areas
adaCAL is used in paper production as functional filler and coating mineral. It positively changes, both chemical and physical/optical properties of the paper.

adaCAL is used in paper production as functional filler and coating mineral. It positively changes, both chemical and physical/optical properties of the paper.
with adaCAL use in paper as filler;
- Add paper opacity/birghtness and whiteness.
- Increase the bulk density of paper.
- Improves the smoothness of the paper surface.
- Reduces dusting.
- Enhances bonding interaction with fibers.
- By stabilizing the retention/drainage system, allows better paper machine runnability.
- By significantly increase sheet filler content, reduces the production cost.
- Add paper birghtness and whiteness.
- Performs optimum rheological properties and provides ideal thixotropy.
- Improves opacity.
- By balancing ink absorption, improves the print quality.
About us
Company details
Adacal Ind. Min. was established as a lime factory in 2000 at 110.000 sqm. area. Adacal has become a well known trade mark in its sector with the raw material quality, advanced technology and precise production.
Adacal is major supplier of the two distinct areas, construction and industry sectors. The importance of the lime is increasing day by day and becoming a significant raw material of the production. Our company has always been preferred supplier for Turkey’s elite institutions in their sectors which have no tolerance at the quality such as gold, silver, aluminum, boron, soda, power plants, iron & steel plants, water treatment plants, chemistry and glass-fiber industry for many years.
In order to guarantee the product quality, Adacal adapted “selective mining” approach and also incorporated into the mine operations in 2009.
Adacal has completed the first and the only industrial scaled PCC (Preciptated Calcium Carbonate) production plant in Turkey at the end of 2011 and started to supply PCC with “adaCAL” trademark. adaCAL can be produced in nano size and at desired morphology. With these superior specifications adaCAL meets the required technical specifications and used as functional filler in many different industries like paper, plastic, paint, chemistry, pharmacy and food to increase the quality and reduce the costs.
Adacal is a full integrated plant when considered its own raw material processing plant, modern kiln and ability of producing CO2 necessary for PCC by own facilities. The use of CO2 by 44% in the production process attributes our PCC an environmentally-friend product.
As a neccessity of the new investments, a modern laboratory is established in the company. This laboratory, including Scanning Electron Microscobe (SEM) and a pilot PCC plant, plays an important role in research & development (R&D) studies.
