CaCO3 is safe, easy to process, and has unlimited potential. The different uses of calcium carbonate in our day-to-day lives are remarkable. Bihoku focuses on its importance and produces high quality calcium carbonate. With the development of polymer chemistry and fine chemicals, Bihoku has been in pursuit of “The World of Fine Microns,” which supports a dynamic, macro society.

Increased Smoothness

The consumption of paper is a cultural barometer. Calcium carbonate supports the development of paper manufacturing and printing technology. Bihoku has developed high-quality pigments for paper manufacturing that produce subtle colors and brilliant whites in response to the demand from the industry. Our unique, fine micron calcium carbonate is indispensable for art paper, coated paper, pressure-sensitive copy paper that requires the ultimate smoothness, special paper like electrostatic recording paper, and synthetic paper. In addition, it is also used in paint and adhesives like solvent paint and water-based paint for architecture and roads. It is also widely used in sealants and caulking for vehicles, electric wiring, and building material.

Improved Workability

The development of polymer science has supported the development of the industrial world. Bihoku supplies calcium carbonate to produce high-quality products without compromising the rubber or the plastic in the product. Electric wires, pipes, and telecommunication products need to be easy to work with and require uniformity and durability. All different kinds of building material, like flooring and wallpaper, require strength and resistance to wear and tear. In particular, resin has been gaining attention for being useful in the application of sub-micron calcium carbonate. It has become an indispensable material in advanced science for things like disposable diapers, high-quality breathable film, food packaging, and semiconductors.

Environmental Protection

We have to coexist with the Earth, and environmental problems are vital issues. Humans have been destroying the earth since we started using fossil fuels. How can we protect the earth? This is a big challenge. The calcium carbonate that Bihoku produces plays an active role in environmental conservation. Air purification is done through flue gas desulfurization which uses calcium carbonate. It is used in fertilizer, chemicals, and the coating on fruit so that when it is sown into oxidized land it produces a weak alkaline effect, which improves the quality of the soil. The earth creates calcium carbonate which greatly contributes to protecting the environment.

Health Benefits

Calcium is a component of the human body, and it is important for growth and staying healthy. This nutrient has been gaining attention for playing an important role in maintaining biological functions such as decreasing stress and increasing resistance to diseases. Bihoku's calcium carbonate has passed the Japanese Pharmacopoeia's standards and the Official Standards for Food Additives and is widely used for its health benefits. It is a calcium enhancer that can be added to food without changing the original flavor or color of the food. Whether it is being used in polishing agents like toothpaste, pharmaceuticals like digestive medicine, or high-purity calcium supplements for export, Bihoku is proud to be the world's top supplier of calcium carbonate.
