Calcium Carbonate (Archival)

An alkaline chemical used as a buffer in papers and boards.

Calcium Carbonate (Beer Brewing)

Chemical compound with the formula CaCO3, a.k.a. chalk. Tends to raise pH; food grade calcium carbonate may be added in small amounts to brewing water if the pH is too low.

Calcium Carbonate (Cancer)

A mineral taken primarily as a supplement to prevent osteoporosis. It is also being studied for cancer prevention.

Calcium Carbonate (Carpet)

An insoluble compound that occurs naturally in chalk, bone, shell, and limestone, that results from the reaction of sodium carbonate and hard water ions. In its crystallized form it produces marble.

Calcium Carbonate (Lymphoma)

A form of calcium used as a dietary supplement.

Calcium Carbonate (Paint)

A mined material (chalk) that is used as an extender or filler for paint and caulk.

Calcium Carbonate (Physical Geography)

Compound consisting of calcium and carbonate. Calcium carbonate has the following chemical structure CaCO3.

Calcium Carbonate (Plumbing)

CACO3 - a white precipitate that forms in water lines, water heaters and boilers in hard water areas; also known as scale.

Calcium Carbonate (Pool and Spa)

Crystalline deposits (scale) that can form on all under water surfaces, if the water is excessively high in calcium hardness. High pH and high total alkalinity can worsen the problem. Responsible for cloudy water conditions that may result due to pool or spa water being out of balance.
