Examples of how we can help optimise formulations and processes are;Paint; Fines hydrous kaolin is added to semi gloss emulsion paint, optimising the opacifying performance of TiO2 and reducing formualtion costs.Film; FilmLink allows thin films to be stretched, creating small holes which allow the film to breathe, important in diaper / nappy applications.Plastics; Fine High brightness coated marble grades are used to enhance rigidity, give good gloss, improve impact strength and maintain a good colour, all important properties for PVCu profiles.Adhesives; Imerseal is a very low moisture content calcium carbonate, which when formulated into Moisture Sensitive sealants allows processing time to be cut, drying costs to be dramatically reduced as well as improving the shelf life of the finished product.
