Pakistan’s northern region is globally known for its rich deposits of limestone and marble, with exceptional brightness and mineral consistency. Aricon carefully sources its raw materials from these mountains, ensuring a foundation of purity and reliability in every batch of Calcium Carbonate we produce.

Our Raw Material
1. High Brightness Limestone
Origin: Northern Pakistan (Swat region) – known for high-quality limestone.
Characteristic: Naturally bright and white stone with excellent light-scattering properties.
Why it matters: Provides superior brightness and opacity, ideal for industries where whiteness is key.
Applications:
- Paper Industry: Improves whiteness, opacity, and print surface.
- Paints & Coatings: Acts as a pigment extender, enhances brightness and smoothness.

2. High Purity Marble Chips
Origin: Central Pakistan marble quarries.
Characteristic: Very low impurity content, high CaCO₃ purity (≥98%).
Why it matters: Offers excellent chemical stability and consistent performance in processing.
Applications:
- Plastics Industry: Increases rigidity, heat resistance, and lowers production cost.
- Footwear Industry: Provides durability and better finish for shoe soles and rubber compounds.
