AGSCARB Dolomite

Product Description

Dolomite is composed of calcium magnesium carbonate. Turkey is host to one of the purest sources of dolomite in the world. Dolomite has slight advantages over calcium carbonate in terms of hardness and acid resistance.

Dolomite improves acid resistance, mechanical stability, and flexibility in coatings.
