Introducing bioPCC – A Sustainable, High-Performance Alternative
Calcium carbonate is a ubiquitous mineral found in countless products, from personal care items to construction materials. But the traditional methods of producing this essential compound have significant environmental drawbacks.
That’s why Minus Materials has developed bioPCC – a biologically-derived form of precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) that offers a more sustainable solution.
Co2 Negative Biogenic and renewable No mining or crushing
Harnessing the Power of Nature
Our bioPCC is produced using microalgae called coccolithophores – prolific calcifiers that naturally precipitate calcium carbonate as part of their life cycle. By leveraging this biological process, we’re able to create a biological PCC with a unique nano-structured morphology that delivers superior performance compared to conventional, chemically-produced PCC.
Unlocking New Possibilities Across Industries
The distinctive properties of our bioPCC — from small particle size, high surface area and purity, along with a repeatable morphology — open up a world of possibilities for multiple product formulations and applications.
Human and Animal Nutrient Calcium
Personal Care Products
Paper and Board
Composites, Adhesives and Sealants
Paints and Coatings
Supplementary Cementitious Material
A Greener Approach
to an Essential Mineral
By reducing reliance on extractive quarrying, our bioPCC production process helps preserve geological limestone, one of nature’s most effective carbon sinks. This not only reduces the environmental impact but also unlocks new opportunities to decarbonize industries that rely heavily on calcium carbonate, especially PCC.
