Calcium Carbonate Chips and Granules
Sized grades for terrazzo, artificial stone, animal feed grit, construction and landscaping.
Overview
About this product
Chips and granules are crushed white calcium carbonate that has been screened into narrow size fractions. Each fraction is supplied on its own, so the size you order is the size you receive.
They are used where a visible, white aggregate is needed, and where a coarse calcium source is wanted, such as grit for poultry.
