In decorative paint applications, our products play a crucial role in enhancing the aesthetic appeal and performance of coatings. Some of our products like talc and chalk act as fillers in paint formulations to improve the durability, opacity, and weather resistance of decorative paint, allowing for a smoother and more vibrant finish. Furthermore, talc also contributes to improved formulation stability and application properties, ensuring a superior overall performance.
We also have products, such as Talc, which go into adhesives and sealants as a reinforced filler. This enhances the adhesive strength, flexibility, and resistance to cracking, improving the overall performance and longevity of adhesives and sealants.
Additionally, we have products which go into the decorative concrete sector. DekorFlake is capable of achieving a range of natural aesthetic effects. This product is available in gold, silver, bronze, and black colours, as well as a variety of particle sizes. This means that our DekorFlake imparts a metallic effect and aesthetic appeal to our customer’s requirements.
In addition, we also have products which go into anti-corrosion coatings industrial applications. MicaFort formulates coatings which protect metal surfaces from degradation caused by corrosion. These minerals provide barrier properties, durability, and chemical resistance, ensuring long-term protection for metal structures against environmental factors.
Overall, our products in the paints and coatings sector provide innovative mineral solutions for decorative paint, adhesives and sealants, decorative concrete, and anti-corrosion coatings. With our range of minerals, we assist in enhancing performance, durability, and aesthetic features in various applications within the paints and coatings industry.
