Applications

Calcium carbonate is an extremely versatile mineral present in many everyday items, from adhesives and sealants through to animal feed and landscaping. Using our high-purity limestone and dolomite deposits from Derbyshire, we produce quality products suitable for numerous applications.

Animal Feeds

We provide feed grade calcium carbonates for livestock and poultry, as well as for fortifying pet foods.

Adhesives and Sealants

Calcium carbonate is a common additive for many adhesives and sealants adding strength and durability.

Glass and Ceramics

Glass and ceramics require extremely high-purity calcium carbonates, which can be found at our Derbyshire quarries.

Concrete Products

At Longcliffe, our great reputation is well-known throughout the industry for our high-quality concrete aggregates.

Agricultural Lime

Our agricultural lime is perfect for the farming industry, helping to neutralise acidic soil and resulting in an improved crop yield.

Fertilisers

We supply limestone for the manufacture of granular and compound fertilisers helping to improve the strength of plants.

Plastics and Rubber

Ground calcium carbonate is a key component in many rubber and plastic applications including PVC, carpet-backing and tyres.

Construction Aggregates

The construction industry requires quality aggregates, supplied by Longcliffe, for use within roadbed formation, pipe bedding and foundation footings.

Landscaping

Limestone is a great addition to any landscaping project, suitable for dry stone walls, steps and pathways as well as gardens and rockeries.

Bituminous Products

Our limestone fillers can be used as an additive to bituminous products such as asphalt - ideal for road repairs, roofing membranes and as a waterproof casing for water tanks, among other applications.

Plasters, Screeds and Renders

Finely ground calcium carbonates from Longcliffe are often incorporated into paints, plasters and other industrial coatings.

Cement Replacements

Our ground calcium carbonates can be used as cement replacements for the production of concrete, delivering a more practical product that is readily available.

Speciality Limes

Limestone and lime products play an important role in our day-to-day lives from the treatment of drinking water, wastewater treatment and steel manufacture through to flue gas desulphurisation and mineral feed blocks.

Quarrying and Processing

With long term high quality reserves Longcliffe are in a position to offer high quality calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate to UK industry.
