Developing application benefits is the key focus of our research and development work, which is based on close partnership with our customers.
 
Intensive cooperation with the R&D departments of customers as well as Universities and Research Institutes, gives strong support to continue our track record of innovation.
 
For example MONDO MINERALS is the first talc producer in the world to use a liquid helium cooled, superconducting electromagnet to remove impurities.
 
Recent innovations include :
  • coating talc improving the printability of rotogravure papers
  • lamellar, calcium oxide free, low screen residue talcs for thin-walled ceramic catalyst supports
  • low abrasive talc for polypropylene pipe extrusion
  • flotated, colour-consistent talcs for paint tinting systems
  • double classified talcs for low VOC coatings
  • industrial-scale talc sterilisation for biocide-free water-based paints
