We wanted showcase some of our niche applications.
Minerals reinforce polymers; MicaFort, a high aspect ratio mineral, provides very efficient warpage reduction and an improved surface finish for automotive parts.
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.
The industry uses Magnetite to produce dense medium separation slurry for coal washing, mineral processing and recycling of metals and plastics.
The industry uses iron catalysts to improve or increase the rate of reaction in chemical processes. Our Magnetite is a natural iron oxide which companies use to make iron catalysts.
To block sound transmitting a polymer with significant weight will ensure a reduction in transmission.
MagnaChem, manufactured from the natural mineral Magnetite, is an iron source to produce coagulants and flocculants for the water treatment industry.
