Use of calcium carbonate in products is soaring. Bihoku has long understood the importance of calcium carbonate, and ever since our business began we have focused on creating calcium carbonate products with outstanding purity, whiteness, and particle size and uniformity. These efforts have led to our developing calcium carbonate that combines smaller particle size and lighter weight with higher performance.
Backed by advanced sub-micron technology, Bihoku continues to develop innovative, high-quality calcium carbonate products that support advancement in the polymer and fine chemical fields.
 
In calcium carbonate particles, purity and whiteness are even more critical than particle fineness and uniformity. Creating a high-quality calcium carbonate product requires "clean" manufacturing processes and precise control technologies at every stage of production, from ore handling to final processing. And for calcium carbonate used in pharmaceuticals and food additives, extremely rigorous quality control is also a must.
At Bihoku, we boast in-house developed proprietary calcium carbonate technology that achieves purity of 98.5% or higher. Highly regarded throughout the industry, this technology lets us supply the high-purity products demanded in cutting-edge high-tech fields and the new and compound materials fields.

 
Small particle size is an essential condition for high-quality calcium carbonate. Fine particles are created through a grinding process that uses advanced, specialized equipment and technologies. Bihoku, drawing on deep experience and a storehouse of sophisticated grinding technologies, has developed production technology that delivers a reliable supply of particles smaller than a single micron in diameter. We have also succeeded in reducing production costs.
 
Particle size uniformity joins fineness, purity and whiteness as key factors in calcium carbonate quality. To assure outstanding uniformity, Bihoku rigorously tests all products using our own in-house developed size-classification technologies. In our SOFTON-based calcium carbonate products, some 90% of the particles measure 2 microns or less in diameter. These top-quality products have earned high praise in the industry and see wide use in fields such as paper production, paints, and construction materials.
