  1. Why Aragonite Competitive Advantage

  2. Chemically, aragonite is identical to the more common calcium carbonate polymorph, calcite. The differences between the two materials are the result of their different crystalline structures, as a result the characteristics of Bahamian aragonite are compared to calcite (terrestrial limestone) in most markets.

  3. Historically calcite has been used as a mineral filler because it is a plentiful and relatively cheap filler. Beginning in 2012, testing in plastic and polymer applications began to show added product strength in formulas using aragonite directly compared with those using calcite.

  4. The solubility products reported by Krauskopf and Bird (1995) for calcite and aragonite indicates that aragonite is approximately 35% more soluble than calcite. Solubility testing conducted by the Keck Geophysical Laboratory at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey indicates that in the pH range from 5-7. Aragonite is significantly more soluble than calcite.

  5. farmers on the eastern shore of Maryland, Delaware, and Viginia with low pH soils have found that on average that it requires 50% less aragonite to achieve the desired pH when compared to a traditional limestone product. This is a direct result of aragonites solubility.
