CalciTech Ltd. develops and commercializes synthetic calcium carbonate (SCC) in Europe. It produces SCC from waste lime and air polluting carbon dioxide. SCC is a white pigment that is used in various industrial applications, including paper, polymers, paints, foods, and pharmaceuticals. The company offers three SCC products targeting the paper industry, which comprise CalciLS, which is designed to maximize light scattering; CalciSG that is designed to provide a gloss coating for premium grade printing and writing papers; and CalciRG, a performance-enhancing additive targeted at the rotogravure market. It also provides CalciSP, a non-paper product targeted at the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries; and CalciRC, which is targeted at polymer applications, such as plastics, sealants, rubber, and adhesives. The company was formerly known as Kemgas Ltd. and changed its name to CalciTech Ltd. in July 2000 to reflect change in business to the production and sale of SCC. CalciTech Ltd. was founded in 1978 and is based in Geneva, Switzerland.
