Black Limestone can be availed in different forms such as slab, tiles, etc. based upon the specific requirements.

Chemical Properties

Chemically, both limestone and marbles are siliceous calcium carbonate rocks.
Lime (CaO) - 38-42%
Silica (SiO2) - 20-25%
Alumina (Al2O3) - 2-4%
Other Oxides like Na, Mg - 1.5 to 2.5%
Loss On Ignition (LOI) - 30-32%

Limestone, like marble and other calcareous stones, are referred to as acid sensitive. Calcareous stones are readily dissolved in acid, therefore acidic products should not be used on limestone and marbles.
