About Limestone
Limestone is a natural sedimentary rock composed primarily of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) in the form of the mineral calcite. Formed over millions of years from marine organisms and shell fragments, limestone is widely recognized for its durability, versatility, and industrial.
Our Product Range at SeIPL
At Shakun Engitech India Private Limited (SEIPL), we supply all types of limestone and lime-based products for use in industrial, construction, and agricultural sectors worldwide.
Limestone By-Products
1. Calcium Oxide (CaO)
Calcium Oxide, also known as Quicklime, is produced by calcining high-purity limestone at high temperatures. It is a highly reactive compound widely used in various industrial processes.
Features of Calcium Oxide (CaO)
- High chemical purity and reactivity
- Excellent binding and fluxing properties
- Consistent quality for industrial applications
- Effective in high-temperature processes
- Suitable for steel, cement, and chemical industries
2. Calcium Carbonate (CaCO ₃)
Calcium Carbonate is a naturally occurring mineral derived from limestone, also known as calcite, chalk, or lime rock, depending on its form and origin. It is processed from high-purity limestone to achieve controlled particle size, brightness, and chemical stability, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
Features of Calcium Carbonate (CaCO₃)
- High purity, whiteness, and brightness
- Fine and uniform particle size
- Chemically stable and non-toxic material
- Enhances strength, smoothness, and surface finish
- Widely used in paper, plastics, paints, rubber, and construction industries
3. Calcium Hydroxide [Ca(OH)₂]
Calcium Hydroxide, also known as Hydrated Lime, is produced by hydrating Calcium Oxide under controlled conditions. It is widely used for environmental and chemical applications.
Features of Calcium Hydroxide [Ca(OH)₂]
- High purity and consistent composition
- Excellent alkalinity and reactivity
- Fine powder with good solubility
- Effective for water treatment and pollution control
- Reliable performance for industrial and construction uses
Each type is extracted from mines in Rajasthan, India and processed to meet international quality standards.
