Market Description
Coated Ground Calcium Carbonate is a finely milled natural calcium carbonate treated with surface modifiers—typically fatty acids or stearates—to enhance dispersion, compatibility, and performance in polymer and coating systems. Compared to uncoated GCC, coated grades offer improved hydrophobicity, reduced agglomeration, enhanced mechanical properties, and better processing efficiency.
Coated GCC is widely used as a functional filler and extender in paper, plastics, paints, adhesives, and sealants. The market is driven by its ability to reduce formulation costs while maintaining or improving product performance, making it an attractive alternative to more expensive raw materials.
Impact of COVID-19 on the Coated Ground Calcium Carbonate Market
The COVID-19 pandemic had a moderate impact on the Coated Ground Calcium Carbonate market in 2020.
Key impacts included:
Overall, the market demonstrated resilience due to its strong presence in essential and cost-sensitive industries.
