Discover the versatility of ultra-white Marble filler
When most people think of Marble, images of elegant architecture, intricate sculptures, or luxury interiors come to mind. While these uses highlight its beauty, marble offers much more than aesthetic appeal. At LKAB Minerals, we take ultra-white Marble beyond traditional applications, unlocking its potential across a wide range of industries. By combining performance, versatility, and environmental responsibility, our marble products deliver tangible value where it matters most. Helping customers achieve technical, commercial, and ecological goals.
Purity and brightness that deliver more than looks
At the core of ultra-white Marble filler’s appeal is its purity. Its bright, consistent white appearance offers more than visual elegance, it’s a high-performance ingredient across multiple applications. In paints and coatings, its brightness and opacity enhance coverage and reduce pigment requirements. In plastics, it improves surface gloss and ensures visual consistency. For adhesives, sealants, and construction materials, marble acts as a reliable filler, boosting durability and providing uniform finishes.
Beyond aesthetics, marble’s chemical and physical properties make it a versatile material that can be engineered for applications ranging from high-tech manufacturing to everyday construction. This combination of beauty and function makes ultra-white Marble a material of choice for industries seeking both performance and reliability.
Sustainable origins, lasting impact
A key advantage of LKAB’s Marble fillers is their sustainable origin. Every grade is made as a by-product of recycled materials, following ISO 14021 environmental standards. Instead of extracting fresh Marble, we repurpose offcuts from Carrara, the historic Italian region renowned for its Marble.
Processed at our Somerset facility – one of Europe’s largest of its kind – these offcuts undergo washing, sorting, crushing, and milling to create fillers with precise particle sizes from 8 to 150 microns. By transforming what might otherwise be waste into a valuable resource, we provide high-performance fillers with a reduced environmental footprint. Customers gain all the benefits of ultra-white Marble filler while supporting more responsible material use.
Engineered for performance
Ultra-white Marble is more than a bright filler. Its natural chemistry enhances mechanical strength, thermal conductivity, and workability across various applications. In paints, its fine particles improve opacity and coverage, reducing the need for pigment and lowering production costs. In plastics, Marble enhances surface gloss and durability, producing end products that are both attractive and long-lasting. In adhesives and sealants, it provides consistent particle distribution, improving bonding strength and product stability.
Tailored to every application
No two projects are alike, which is why LKAB Minerals offers six distinct particle sizes, from 8 to 150 microns. Fine grades are ideal for paints and coatings that demand smoothness and high opacity, while coarser grades suit construction materials requiring bulk and durability. This level of precision allows manufacturers to optimise formulations and ensures that Marble fillers contribute meaningfully to product performance.
Broad industry applications
Ultra-white Marble’s versatility is reflected in its wide-ranging applications. In construction, it strengthens adhesives, grouts, and mortars. In paints and coatings, it enhances whiteness, coverage, and cost efficiency. In plastics, it improves mechanical properties and surface finish. A few other specialised sectors that also benefit from Marble are pharmaceuticals and food-grade applications, as they rely on its chemical stability and purity, while the oil and gas industry uses Marble fillers in drilling fluids to manage density and improve lubrication. Few minerals offer such a combination of adaptability and performance.
Reliable supply and flexible logistics
Performance is only part of the equation. At LKAB Minerals, we ensure consistent supply through our Somerset facility, equipped with advanced milling and air classification systems for precise particle control. Marble fillers are available in multiple packaging options, from 25kg sacks to one-tonne bulk bags and tanker deliveries, allowing customers to match supply to their production needs without disruption.
Blending tradition with innovation
Marble has long been admired for its strength and elegance. At LKAB Minerals, we honour that heritage while redefining its role for the modern world. By transforming Carrara offcuts into high-performance fillers, we extend the legacy of this iconic mineral and provide solutions that meet today’s demands for efficiency, innovation, and environmental responsibility.
Why ultra-white Marble matters
Ultra-white Marble delivers a unique combination of purity, performance, and sustainability. Its engineered grades provide flexibility for a wide range of applications, while its recycled origins reduce environmental impact. Across construction, coatings, plastics, pharmaceuticals, and drilling, LKAB Minerals’ ultra-white Marble is more than a filler, it’s a high-performance material designed to support long-term success.
