Connell Bros. Company Ltd. Offers Chemically Inert Dolomite Mineral. Connell Bros. Company Ltd. Supplies coating inks, plastic rubbers, food ingredients and personal and household care. Chemically Inert Dolomite Mineral is commonly found in deposits of a sedimentary rock called dolostone. Chemically Inert Dolomite Mineral is believed to have formed by replacement of some of the calcium in a calcium carbonate limestone deposit with magnesium, while the sediment was undergoing lithification, being converted from layers of dead clam and other sea animal shells into crystallized calcite or calcium carbonate. It is harder and denser than the calcite form of calcium carbonate or limestone, and is more chemically inert and more impervious to acid attack. This mineral is used for many construction and building product applications due to its increased hardness and density.
