Our California based mine is the largest high-quality hectorite mine in the world

Hectorite is a natural mineral that delivers excellent rheology in both water- and oil-based systems, making it an attractive alternative to synthetic materials. It can be processed at lower temperatures, leading to lower costs and improved sustainability. It also delivers important attributes, such as excellent texture and colour for Personal Care and long term stability for Performance Specialties applications.

We own significant deposits of high-quality talc in Finland

We use proprietary flotation technology, which enables production of talc that is consistently over 95% pure and can be customised for colour, size and shape. 我们的滑石产品可提高塑料部件的机械强度，从而制造出高质量的终端产品。此外，滑石还能使塑料设计更轻、更薄，在保持强度的同时替代金属部件，从而为减少碳排放作出贡献。
