Kristallkalk is produced by crystallization instead of grinding. Only this gives it its special properties:

  • pointed, needle-like structure
  • very high fineness, average particle size around 1,5 µm
  • very homogeneous particle size: 98 % of all particles < 5 µm
  • very high purity: 99 % CaCO3
  • high sheet adhesion
  • easy application, no problems with clogging of filters or nozzles of the crop protection sprayer
  • high whiteness: good sun protection effect

Crystallization

Our special crystallization process allows the lime crystals to grow slowly in water. This allows the shape, structure and size of the individual crystals to be precisely controlled.

Grinding

The grinding of limestone with different mills produces round or cuboid particles of different sizes.
