APPLICATIONS
The different uses that can be given to our minerals and fillers cover different needs to apply and improve the qualities of your product.
Barite is a white or colourless mineral formed by barium sulfate (BaSO4). Due to its high density, whiteness and ability to absorb radiation, it has multiple applications in the medical, chemical and construction sectors as a filler or pigment. Very valued in the manufacture of paper and rubber.
Blanc fix or synthetic barium sulphate is a universal diluent with additive and functional properties. Brings an exceptionally bright white color to paints and coatings, paper, adhesives and sealants, plastics, rubbers and polymers.
Precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) is a substance formed from natural calcium carbonate (GCC). It is a filler with a smaller granulometry than GCC and with more uniform and chemically pure particles and with a greater specific surface area. Due to its high whiteness and opacity, it is a material used in the manufacture of paints and paper.
Kaolin is the name given to rocks rich in the mineral kaolinite. Kaolinite is an easily exfoliable layered hydrated aluminum silicate. Metakaolin is obtained by calcining kaolin at temperatures between 500 and 600ºC. They are used to make paper, ceramics, concrete and paint, as a filler for plastic and rubber products. Kaolin is also used in cosmetics and cultivation.

Mica is an alumina silicate that stands out for its flexibility and elasticity. One of its greatest applications is its use as electrical and thermal insulation in high-voltage machines, in electric motors, in generators, in condensers and in the construction of ships and buildings.
The microspheres are made of aluminum silicate and are an excellent additive used in construction and aeronautics, for the manufacture of adhesives and sealants, concrete, cement, refractories, composites, marble and synthetic wood, coatings and paints, resins and molds, plasticizers and explosives.
Talc is a hydrated magnesium silicate mineral, white in color with shades of gray or blue. It stands out for being the softest mineral according to the Mohs scale, in which it is taken as a standard of the lowest hardness, assigning it the minimum value of 1.
Wollastonite is a calcium silicate that stands out for its acicular structure. It is used in construction as a replacement for asbestos and asbestos, as a reinforcement in thermosealing and thermoplastic plastic compounds, as an additive in paint, ceramics, cement and paper. Wollastonite is also beginning to be applied in the manufacture of synthetic bones and other types of prostheses and implants.

Zeolite is a microporous crystalline aluminosilicate. It has a high cation exchange capacity that allows the adsorption of water molecules, heavy metal ions and ammonium, while releasing healthy minerals such as calcium, magnesium and phosphate. Zeolite absorbs moisture and captures contaminants in agriculture and in water treatment. Also used in animal nutrition.
For what can you use minerals & fillers?
In the chemical, construction and automotive sectors, minerals, fillers and additives are used to improve adhesives, sealants, resins, rubber, dyes, pigments, paints, paper, plastic, ceramics, composites, concrete, coatings and detergents.
Fillers and minerals are also used in food, fertilisers, insecticides, and pesticides, as well as in animal nutrition, waste and water treatment, the agricultural sector, and the environment.
