LIMESTONE

Pakistan is rich in Limestone resources, with significant deposits found in various regions, including the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab, and Balochistan provinces. This abundance has made limestone a crucial component of Pakistan’s construction, industrial, and agricultural sectors.

Limestone is widely used in Pakistan for various purposes, such as:

  • Construction: It is a key ingredient in cement, concrete, and asphalt production, essential for infrastructure development.
  • Agriculture: Limestone is used to improve soil pH, making it more suitable for cultivation.
  • Industry: It is used in the steelmaking, paper, and chemical industries as a flux and raw material.
  • Other: Limestone is also used for decorative purposes, animal feed, and water treatment.

Limestone Lumps are large, irregularly shaped pieces of limestone rock. They are a versatile material with a wide range of applications in various industries.

Uses:

  • Construction: Limestone lumps are crushed and processed to produce aggregates for use in concrete, asphalt, and road construction.
  • Agriculture: Limestone is used to improve soil pH and neutralize acidity, making it more suitable for crop cultivation.
  • Animal Feed: Crushed limestone is added to animal feed as a source of calcium and to aid in digestion.
  • Industrial Processes: Limestone is used as a flux in steelmaking and as a raw material in the production of cement, glass, and other products.

Limestone 1-10mm is a fine-grained limestone material with particles ranging in size from 1 to 10 millimeters. It is a popular choice for various applications due to its consistent size and excellent properties.

Uses:

  • Construction: Limestone 1-10mm is used as a base layer for roads, pavements, and building foundations. It is also used in concrete production to improve its strength and durability.
  • Landscaping: This limestone grade is commonly used for landscaping purposes, such as creating pathways, garden beds, and decorative features.
  • Water Filtration: Limestone is used in water filtration systems to remove impurities and improve water quality.
  • Industrial Applications: Limestone 1-10mm is used in various industrial processes, including chemical production and metal refining.

Limestone 10-16mm is a medium-sized limestone material with particles ranging from 10 to 16 millimeters. It is a versatile product with a wide range of applications.

Uses:

  • Construction: Limestone 10-16mm is used as a subbase layer for roads, pavements, and building foundations. It is also used in concrete production and for drainage purposes.
  • Landscaping: This limestone grade is suitable for landscaping projects, such as creating retaining walls, decorative rock gardens, and French drains.
  • Agriculture: Limestone 10-16mm can be used to improve soil drainage and aeration.
  • Industrial Applications: This limestone grade is used in various industrial processes, including wastewater treatment and soil stabilization.

Limestone 16-20mm is a coarse-grained limestone material with particles ranging from 16 to 20 millimeters. It is a strong and durable product commonly used in construction and landscaping applications.

Uses:

  • Construction: Limestone 16-20mm is used as a base layer for roads, pavements, and building foundations. It is also used in concrete production and for drainage purposes.
  • Landscaping: This limestone grade is suitable for creating retaining walls, decorative rock gardens, and French drains.
  • Agriculture: Limestone 16-20mm can be used to improve soil drainage and aeration.
  • Industrial Applications: This limestone grade is used in various industrial processes, including wastewater treatment and soil stabilization.

Aggregate Limestone is a general term used to describe a mixture of crushed stone particles of varying sizes. It is a widely used construction material with excellent strength and durability.

Uses:

  • Construction: Aggregate stone is used in concrete production, asphalt paving, road construction, and building foundations. It is also used for drainage purposes and as a base layer for landscaping projects.
  • Industrial Applications: Aggregate stone is used in various industrial processes, including chemical production, metal refining, and water filtration.

Chips Limestone (0-1mm)

Chips stone, also known as fine aggregate or sand, is a very fine-grained limestone material with particles smaller than 1 millimeter. It is an essential component in many construction and industrial applications.

Uses:

  • Construction: Chips stone is used in concrete production, mortar mixing, and plastering. It is also used as a base layer for roads, pavements, and landscaping projects.
    • Industrial Applications: Chips stone is used in various industrial processes, including chemical production, water filtration, and paint manufacturing.
