Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is used in the construction industry. It is a key component of many construction materials, such as cement, limestone, and marble (which is almost pure calcium carbonate). It is also used as a dietary supplement to prevent calcium deficiency.

∙ 10y agoYes, calcium carbonate is used as a stabilizer in glass manufacture. Without it, plain silicon dioxide is slowly dissolved by water. While it is true that calcium carbonate will react with water saturated with carbon dioxide, and is a cause of erosion for carbonate rocks, it is not an issue in glass. Keep in mind that champagne, with it's high carbon dioxide content, does not dissolve the glasses it is served in.
