Construction Chemicals
Coarse-micron natural calcite (CaCO₃) as a high-loading functional filler for drymix mortar, render, plaster, tile adhesive, joint grout, ETICS and waterproofing formulations. 4 grades AY 540, AY 560, AY 780 and AY 1000 supplied to European construction chemicals producers.
Calcite and Calcium Carbonate in Construction Chemicals
Natural micronized calcite (calcium carbonate – CaCO₃) is the most widely used functional filler in the construction chemicals industry. It is the core raw material in drymix mortar, render and plaster, tile adhesive, joint compound (grout), wall putty, ETICS (External Thermal Insulation Composite System) adhesives, waterproofing membranes and polymer-modified construction mortars — providing volume, mechanical performance and significant cost optimization.
At Aydın Madencilik, we manufacture coarse-micron natural calcite from high-purity calcite stone extracted at our own licensed quarry sites in Bursa Gemlik, Turkey. Our construction chemicals-grade products meet the particle size, brightness and chemical purity requirements of European drymix mortar producers, tile adhesive manufacturers and construction chemicals formulators.
Render, Plaster and Skim Coat Production
In interior and exterior render and plaster formulations, calcium carbonate is the primary functional filler that delivers volume to the mix. Our AY 540 (40 µm) and AY 560 (60 µm) coarse-micron natural calcite grades enable smooth mixing, easy application and a high-quality surface finish in cement-based renders, gypsum plasters, lime renders and skim coats — supplied to drymix mortar producers across the European construction chemicals industry.
Tile Adhesives and Joint Compounds (Grouts)
For ceramic and natural stone applications, calcite is a key filler in tile adhesives and joint compounds (grouts), improving mechanical performance, workability and water retention of the formulation. Our AY 780 (80 µm) coarse-micron natural calcite grade is widely used in cementitious tile adhesive (C1, C2 EN 12004 categories) and tile grout production by European drymix mortar manufacturers.
ETICS, Construction Adhesives and Polymer-Modified Mortars
In ETICS (External Thermal Insulation Composite System) adhesives and reinforcing renders, polymer-modified mortars and construction adhesives, calcium carbonate acts as a functional filler that optimizes cost while maintaining mechanical performance. Our AY 1000 (100 µm) coarse calcite grade delivers high filler loading and economical formulation cost — a key requirement for EU-standard ETICS systems and large-volume construction adhesive production.
Waterproofing Membranes and Self-Levelling Compounds
In cementitious and polymer-modified waterproofing membranes, self-levelling floor compounds, joint sealants and underlayments, coarse-micron calcite provides bulk, mechanical performance and rheology control. Our AY 780 and AY 1000 grades are used by European waterproofing and self-levelling compound producers — supporting both residential and commercial construction projects.

Construction Chemicals Frequently Asked Questions
What is calcite used for in construction chemicals?
Calcite (calcium carbonate) is the primary functional filler in construction chemicals formulations — including render, plaster, wall putty, tile adhesive, joint compound (grout), ETICS adhesive, waterproofing membrane and self-levelling compound. It delivers volume, mechanical strength and significant cost optimization. Aydın Madencilik’s AY 540, AY 560, AY 780 and AY 1000 coarse-micron natural calcite grades cover the full construction chemicals spectrum.
Which micron size of calcite is used in render and plaster production?
Render, plaster and skim coat production typically uses calcite between 40 and 60 microns. This particle size enables smooth mixing, easy application and a high-quality surface finish. Our AY 540 (40 µm) and AY 560 (60 µm) natural calcite grades are widely used by European drymix mortar producers in cement-based renders, gypsum plasters and lime renders.
Is calcium carbonate used in tile adhesive and joint grout production?
Yes — calcium carbonate is the primary filler in cementitious tile adhesives (C1, C2 EN 12004 categories) and tile joint grouts. It delivers mechanical performance, workability and water retention. Our AY 780 (80 µm) coarse-micron natural calcite grade is widely used in tile adhesive and joint grout production by European drymix mortar manufacturers.
Why is calcite preferred in ETICS and construction adhesives?
In ETICS (External Thermal Insulation Composite System) adhesives, reinforcing renders and construction adhesives, calcite provides volume and cost optimization without compromising mechanical performance. Our AY 1000 (100 µm) coarse grade delivers economical high-loading filler performance for EU-standard ETICS systems used in residential and commercial construction across Europe.
What is your logistics advantage for calcite supply to European construction chemicals producers?
Our facility in Gemlik, Bursa, has direct access to Gemlik Port — enabling bulk maritime shipments to European drymix mortar producers and construction chemicals manufacturers in Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria, Poland and the United Kingdom. Container, big bag and bulk delivery options are available, supporting both residential and commercial construction projects.
