Calcium carbonate and talc, engineered for consistency.

Talc — Wadi Allaqi, Aswan. Sourced from the talc deposits of Wadi Allaqi in the South Eastern Desert of Egypt. The deposits are hosted in ultramafic rocks of the Arabian-Nubian Shield and were formed by hydrothermal alteration of serpentinites.

Calcium carbonate — Beni Khaled & Samalout, Minya. Produced from the Eocene limestone of Beni Khaled and Samalout in Minya Governorate; the finished powder analyses at 99 % CaCO₃ (± 0.2 %).

With more than three years of operating experience, the division combines these raw materials with controlled grinding and classification — for reliable finished-product quality, specification flexibility, competitive pricing and traceable sourcing.

Ground calcium carbonate and talc are functional fillers and coating extenders: they set opacity, brightness, stiffness and cost in the final formulation.

• Paints and coatings — both act as extenders that improve opacity, TiO₂ spacing and durability; talc adds anti-settling and rheology control.
• PVC and plastics — GCC adds stiffness, impact strength and cost efficiency; talc reinforces polypropylene and improves dimensional stability. For masterbatch, the grade is matched to the required top cut (d97).
• Paper — GCC as a filler for brightness and printability; talc supports pitch control and smoothness.
• Rubber — both act as semi-reinforcing fillers that improve hardness, tensile strength and processing.
• Adhesives and sealants — GCC provides body, whiteness and cost control; talc improves sag resistance and reinforcement.
• Ceramics — talc is a key flux in wall-tile bodies and sanitaryware; GCC serves as a filler in glazes and bodies.
• Construction materials — GCC in joint compounds, putties and dry-mix formulations.
