Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) – manufacturing and properties Manufacturing of PCC coating grades Calcium carbonate is a very common mineral in the earth’s crust 1. It occurs in three different crystalline forms: Calcite Aragonite Vaterite Calcite is the most common natural form, with aragonite and vaterite being metastable toward calcite under ambient surface conditions.
