THE STORY OF FINECHEMO CASO4
Finechemo CASO4: The Functional Mineral Filler & Setting Agent
Finechemo CaSO4, also known as gypsum or anhydrite (depending on hydration level), is a multifunctional ingredient used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, oral care, and personal-care powders as a bulking agent, opacifier, absorbent, and controlled-setting filler. Its high purity, whiteness, and inert nature make it ideal for safe topical and ingestible products.
Mineral-Derived, Purified Through Crushing, Calcination & Milling
Commercial finechemo CaSO4 is produced by refining naturally occurring gypsum ore, removing impurities, and converting it into either dihydrate (CaSO₄·2H₂O), hemihydrate (plaster grade), or anhydrous powder. TRCkem supplies cosmetic, food, and pharma-grade material with controlled particle size and low heavy-metal content.
