Betocarb F - PT is a high-purity, finely processed calcium carbonate designed to enhance the fine packing density and early strength of cement-based systems. It serves as a filler, improving aesthetics and productivity while providing partial replacement for supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) and viscosity modifiers. This powder product is ideal for use in cement-based construction materials and dry mortars. It is certified under ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 standards and belongs to the carbonates and calcium salts chemical families.
