Plastics
We have the widest portfolio of engineered talcs, kaolins, calcium carbonates, graphites, diatomites, carbon blacks, micas and wollastonites to deliver real results and savings for today’s plastics industry.
Taking plastics to the next level
No matter what type of plastics you’re producing, we have mineral solutions that can enhance their properties, reduce their carbon footprint and help lower your costs.
We engineer minerals that make excellent reinforcing fillers, glass-fiber replacements and nucleating agents in polypropylene, engineering thermoplastics and thermosets for the production of lightweight automotive parts, domestic appliances, electronic components, construction profiles and food packaging.
Our products provide breathability in hygiene films and reduce resin consumption in nonwoven fiber production. They can be used as antiblocking agents and reinforcement agents in packaging and agricultural films, or to restore mechanical properties to recycled plastics and they make ideal nucleating agents in biopolymers and semi crystalline polymers.
We offer synthetic graphite and carbon blacks specialties for conductive plastics, rubber, coating and paints or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) industries.
We tailor solutions to enable customers to achieve the properties they are looking for, including: electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, lubrication, durability and surface consistency.
Talk to our plastics experts about your manufacturing processes and challenges, and we’ll find the right mineral to help your business accelerate and thrive.
