Automotive Parts Minerals reinforce polymers; MicaFort, a high aspect ratio mineral, provides very efficient warpage reduction and an improved surface finish for automotive parts.
Brake pads Brake pads can contain up to 20 different ingredients. Our customers use both MicaFort and MagniF to produce this part of the braking systems in cars.
Decorative flooring Use DekorFlake to provide natural sparkle and glitter in a variety of flooring types such as vinyl flooring, tile flooring, concrete flooring or epoxy flooring.
Detectable Polymers MagniF is capable, due to its high density and ferri-magnetic properties, of making polymers metal detectable with high-frequency coil.
Flame Retardant Foams Our customers use either UltraCarb or FireCarb in the manufacture of foams as a flame retardant filler or intumescent additive.
High density polymers LKAB Minerals offers the environmentally friendly MagniF for increasing the density of a variety of polymer products.
PVC Compounds Even though PVC is less flammable than other polymers adding a flame retardant additive such as our UltraCarb is still very beneficial.
PVC Plastisols Adding UltraCarb to PVC plastisols will provide end-products with better flame retardant and smoke suppression characteristics.
Sound dampening To block sound transmitting a polymer with significant weight will ensure a reduction in transmission.
Wallboards MicaFort, a high aspect ratio mineral filler, improves appearance and stability of drywall-, plaster- and fire resistant wallboards and joint cement.
