Customized mineral solutions
Mineral grades and compounds made to a customer’s own material specification.
Overview
Some customers need a material made to their own specification, such as a set fineness, a defined particle size distribution, a blend of minerals or properties suited to one process.
We adjust raw material selection, grinding, classification and blending to meet that specification, and keep the agreed properties consistent between deliveries.
What we look at
- Customer specification
- The grade is defined by the properties your formulation and process require.
- Particle size to order
- Fineness and distribution are adjusted to the agreed target.
- Mineral compounds
- Minerals can be combined where a blend meets the requirement better than a single filler.
- Consistent supply
- Agreed properties are monitored by quality control so that each delivery matches the specification.
