DOLOMITE

DOLOMITE

Dolomite is double carbonate of calcium and magnesium. Chemical formula of dolomite is clusters of CaMg(CO3)2 Extremely Pure and White dolomite deposits are found in Turkey, where name “marble” took it “original name during history from Anatolia. Homogenous Cyrstalline structure with high natural whiteness are all main parameters of Prima Dolomite grades.

Dolomite is harder and more dense than Calcium Carbonate, and slightly more acid resistant than Calcium Carbonate.

Usage of Dolomite improves weatherability and mechanical stability, reduces shrinkage and internal stress, eliminates crack development and water adsorption. 

Micronised PRIMA Dolomite grades have wide usage in;

  • General decorative, rust proofing paints 
  • Road marking paints
  • PUR, polyester and expoxy resins
  • ABS, SAN and other thermoplastics.
  • Water based paints
  • Plasters
  • Matt wall paints
  • Concrete and gloss paints
  • Undercoats and rustproofing primers
  • Coil coatings
  • Road marking paints
  • Adhesives, silicone and sealing compounds
