Cal200 is fine ground calcium carbonate with the majority of the particles less than 100 mesh (149 microns).
Cal80 is ground calcium carbonate with the majority of the product being less than 80 mesh (191 microns). Cal 80 is primarily used in roofing shingles and drilling fluids.
Cal50x325 is a fine ground calcium carbonate with the majority of the particles smaller than 50 mesh with >90% passing the 325 mesh. This product has zero retained on the 50 mesh, making it ideal for the joint compound and drywall industries.

Cal 16×60 is used as a calcium supplement in livestock feed, as a calcium supplement in bird feed, as a water treatment media, as a soil amendment in potting soil, and as a structural component in cast stone ornaments.
Cal6x16 is a course ground calcium carbonate with the majority of the particle sizes ranging between 6 mesh and 16 mesh. This product is primarily used as a filler in fertilizer and a calcium supplement in poultry feed.
CalAnchor is a fine grade calcium carbonate, custom blended to fulfill ideal characteristics for the grout industry.
Lime is produced by heating limestone in a kiln to change the mineral into calcium oxide, and calcium carbonate (aka: pulverized limestone or fine grind) is produced by pulverizing high-grade calcium minerals, in Pete Lien & Sons’ case limestone, into a ground granular or power sized finished product. Pete Lien & Sons sells both Lime and Calcium Carbonate products.
Yes, the name ‘AgLime’ is a bit deceiving because it is not lime, instead it is agricultural crushed limestone. Pete Lien & Sons sells ‘AgLime’ out of CO & WY in the form of Ground Calcium Carbonate.
Pete Lien & Sons also supplies Quicklime and Hydrated Lime out of our CO, SD & WY facilities.
Fine Grind is the process of pulverizing limestone. There are many different names for Fine Grind material. They include; pulverized limestone/mineral, ground calcium carbonate (GCC), cal. carb., mineral filler, and AgLime to name a few. To complicate things further, each fine grind manufacturer has a different brand name for pulverized limestone.
