Applications for architects and designers

Here you can find all applications, case studies and datasheets.

All applications by Industry area

Application

Detectable Polymers

MagniF is capable, due to its high density and ferri-magnetic properties, of making polymers metal detectable with high-frequency coil.

Application

Sound dampening

To block sound transmitting a polymer with significant weight will ensure a reduction in transmission.

Application

Decorative flooring

Use DekorFlake to provide natural sparkle and glitter in a variety of flooring types such as vinyl flooring, tile flooring, concrete flooring or epoxy flooring.

Application

Decorative Concrete

DekorFlake is a range of natural Mica flakes designed to impart a decorative metallic effect and aesthetic appeal to building and construction applications.

Application

Concrete weight coating

MagnaDense aggregate in concrete weight coating (CWC) for pipelines increases negative buoyancy and gives mechanical protection against sea motions.

Application

Anti-corrosion coating

The high aspect ratio of MicaFort provides barrier formation for anti-corrosion coatings, impeding the progress of corrosion onto any metal surface.

Application

Ceramic industry
