About us
SCI is a leading and trusted company in the market of micronized calcium carbonate in both stearic acid and untreated forms. It is produced to the highest specifications and purity standards up to 250 microns by the latest production lines of grinding and packaging technologies, where quality control is ensured and proven by our laboratories equipped with the latest particle size analyzers.
Our quarries
Our quarries are among the best limestone quarries in the region, and the whitest and purest, ranging from 97% to 99% calcium carbonate with a low percentage of silica and iron oxide. The stones are carefully selected with the lowest percentage of impurities and the latest crushers are used to prepare the limestone to transport it to our factory for grinding. These features are among the many reasons that make the company able to meet the market needs for high-quality limestone products that are used in many important industrial applications.

Plastic industry
Plastic industry
The addition of light calcium carbonate plays a structural role in plastic products, as a filler and expander including injection molding and blow molding.
Cables
Cables
Calcium carbonate is generally used in the protective covering of mining wires and cables, high voltage wires and cables, marine wires and cables, electrical wires and cable glue.
Pipes
Pipes
Calcium carbonate is used as a functional filler in the production of pipes that carry water, sewage, etc.
Rubber
Rubber
Calcium carbonate is mainly used in tire and rubber products. It can increase volume, reduce cost and improve rubber processing performance as it adds hardness and reinforcement while bonding rubber molecules.
Glass and ceramics
Glass and ceramics
Calcium carbonate thanks to its iron content in very low concentrations (0.005%) and high purity, it enables the production of pure crystalline glass products that give the closest and most clear appearance to the natural color of glass.
Pharmaceutical industry
Pharmaceutical industry
Calcium carbonate is an important component in the pharmaceutical industry culture medium. In addition to providing calcium elements, calcium carbonate works..
Food
Food
Calcium carbonate can be used as a food additive, and a small amount should be added to food, usually no more than 2%, to ensure the necessary calcium intake of the human body.
Agriculture
Agriculture
It is an essential mineral for the growth, development and production of livestock and pets and plays an important role in maintaining health, especially when more natural feed is not available.
Oil industry
Oil industry
Calcium carbonate is widely used in the oil industry because it is heavy, increases the density of drilling fluids, and helps control downhole pressure.
