Technical services for coatings and plastics formulators

The filler affects how a formulation processes and performs. Our technical team works with yours to select, evaluate and adapt the mineral, and to investigate problems when they occur.

Our technical services

Each service starts from your application. We look at the formulation, the process and the properties the product has to meet.

  1. Powder coating formulation development

    Help with developing and adjusting powder coating formulations, starting from the filler.

  2. Mineral filler optimization

    Choosing and adjusting filler properties, mainly particle size, for a given application.

  3. Formulation cost optimization

    Reviewing filler type and loading to lower formulation cost while keeping the required properties.

  4. Technical troubleshooting

    Diagnosing formulation and processing problems that may be linked to the filler.

  5. Product development

    Developing new mineral grades with customers when no existing grade meets the requirement.

  6. Application testing & technical support

    Testing fillers in formulations and supporting your team during qualification and production.

  7. Customized mineral solutions
