The ground calcium carbonate is characterized by its high brightness and chemical purity.
Uses :
Marble powder is used in a wide range of applications and offers a multitude of possibilities.
- In artistic creations, it is used as a natural pigment in paint, wallpaper, decorative coatings, or as a natural mineral filler/ texture enhancer in the preparation of casein paints or lime, whitewash, coating, stucco, and cement.
- In the construction industry, it is used to make lightweight concrete, screeds, plasters and mortars.
- In the craft industry it is used for sculptures, mosaics and jewelry.
The addition of Marble Dust to other substances does not affect the original colour of the substance so it is a great way to enhance texture or be used as a filler with no impact on colour.
Start with a small amount of Marble Dust and gradually mix it into your paint or other base product. Add more dust to the mixture to make it thick and pasty. If the mixture is too thick, add more paint/other bases to thin it out. Continue experimenting with adding marble dust to the mixture until you are happy with the consistency.
