Minya is one of the most important limestone regions in the world. The area’s unique geological formation provides calcium carbonate of high brightness, low impurities, and excellent chemical stability. HERBOCAL was founded with a clear vision — to harness these natural resources responsibly and deliver consistent, high-quality minerals to global industries.

From raw material extraction to advanced processing and micronization, HERBOCAL manages the entire supply chain with precision and care, ensuring that every product leaving our facility meets the highest international standards.

HERBOCAL specializes in a wide range of calcium carbonate grades, tailored to meet the diverse needs of our clients:

• Ground Calcium Carbonate (GCC): micronized powders with controlled particle sizes.
• Coated Calcium Carbonate (Stearic Acid Coated): engineered for enhanced dispersion in plastics, rubber, and adhesives.
• High-Brightness Grades: for paper, paint, and coating industries requiring superior whiteness.
• Customized Solutions: developed in close collaboration with clients to achieve optimal performance in end-use applications.

HERBOCAL’s calcium carbonate products are essential in a wide array of industries. Here are all the sectors we support, with expanded applications:

• Plastics & PVC — improving rigidity, processing, surface finish, and cost-efficiency.
• Paints & Coatings — brightness, opacity, easy spread, durability, optimized rheology.
• Paper & Packaging — enhanced whiteness, opacity, printability, smoother finish.
• Rubber & Elastomers — reinforcement, wear resistance, tear strength.
• Construction Materials — concrete, mortar, tiles, sealants, adhesives; as filler / extender.
• Adhesives & Sealants — viscosity control, bonding strength, stability.
• Food & Beverage — food additive (E170), calcium fortifier, anticaking, pH/acidity regulation.
• Pharmaceuticals & Healthcare — dietary calcium supplements, antacids, excipients.
• Animal Nutrition / Feed — calcium for bone and egg health, feed supplement.
• Glass & Ceramics — raw materials; flux; enhancing whiteness, refining structure.
• Environmental Applications — wastewater treatment, neutralizing acidity, flue gas desulphurization, soil remediation.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care — mild abrasives (e.g. for toothpastes), texturizers, pH control.
