Performance minerals for performance applications
Imerys produce a wide portfolio of performance minerals from assets around the globe.
Calcium Carbonate
The most widely used mineral in industrial applications is calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate can be found in most countries as chalk (also known as whiting), limestone and marble. Imerys have perfected techniques of processing the raw materials into value adding materials, in many cases making it more than simply a cost reducing filler. The Imerys portfolio includes uncoated and coated calcium carbonates.
Kaolin and Calcined clay
Good quality kaolin deposits have been secured by Imerys across the globe. As with calcium carbonate we have used our processing skills to transform the raw material into functional value adding materials. Our range includes a full range of particle sizes of hydrous kaolin and calcined kaolin, coated and uncoated.
Mica
Mica is not as widely used as calcium carbonate or kaolin but give particularly useful properties in paint.
Take a look at the market pages to see a selection of the applications.

ImerCure™ X10- Mineral additive for UV-cured clear coatings
ImerCure™ X10 brings an innovative combination of properties to radiation-cured coatings. The specially engineered particle size makes it ideally suited to clear coatings, giving no loss of optical transmission and clarity.... read more
A new generation of high performance Opacifier
Opacilite™ is a high whiteness “flash calcined” kaolin. This patented technique creates large numbers of intrinsically sealed voids within the clay particles. These tiny voids provide outstanding opacifying properties in coatings... read more
ImerSeal™ is engineered for use in moisture curing sealant adhesive systems
ImerSeal™ offers benefits particularly where stability, product performance, whiteness and high thixotropy are required and also where moisture sensitivity of the system is a consideration... read more
A new concept for water based barrier coatings
Imerys has developed new barrier kaolins as part of the BARRISURF™ product line. These hyper-platy, nano-dimensional thickness crystals create a tortuous coating structure that inherently resists penetration...read more
