Contact SupplierLimestone is a naturally occurring sedimentary rock primarily composed of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃). It is formed from the accumulation of marine organism shells, corals, and other organic materials over millions of years. Limestone serves as a critical raw material in lime manufacturing, where it is heated to produce quicklime (calcium oxide) and hydrated lime (calcium hydroxide). These compounds are essential in sectors such as construction, steel production, agriculture, water treatment, and more.In addition to lime production, limestone is also a valuable component in cement manufacturing, Glass Industry, Poultry Feed / Cattle Feed, Ceramic Industry, Rubber Industry, Oil Exploration, and as a base material for many infrastructure projects. Its versatility and abundance make it a cornerstone of modern industrial processes.
