Essential in agriculture and construction.
Fine calcium carbonate mineral.
Chalk filler is a valuable component in many industries, including construction, paints, and coatings. LKAB Minerals offers high-quality Chalk filler that is used to improve the consistency, strength, and durability of products.
With its excellent absorption properties, Chalk is ideal for applications such as adhesives, sealants, and cementitious products. Its versatility and ease of use make it an essential material for enhancing product performance, whether in construction materials or manufacturing processes. Explore how our Chalk filler can add value to your operations and improve the performance of your end products.
Chalk whiting is a versatile filler, useful for textured wall finishes as it provides high brightness and excellent whiteness. Among these, it is also profitable for rigid and flexible PVC, epoxy compounds, adhesives, rubber, printing inks, and paper products.
Chalk is a versatile mineral filler with attributes that make it valuable for use in various applications such as:
The fine soft nature of chalk coupled with a smooth, round particle shape and carefully controlled particle size distribution make it an ideal filler for various applications. Our unique deposit is free from the abrasive flints normally associated with chalk whiting.

Chalk, a calcium carbonate, is comprised of very fine calcite crystals each less then 1 micron in diameter. These crystals are derived from the disintegration of complex ring like structures. The structures are calcareous skeletal remains of minute marine organisms known as coccoliths. The fine soft nature of our products coupled with a smooth round particle shape and carefully controlled particle size distribution make it an ideal filler.
