Agriculture

ALTIPLUS™ works as an excellent carrier for feed pre-mixes and agri-chemicals, and as a flow promoting processing aid in the manufacturing of animal feeds. Applications include agriculture chemicals, animal feed, fertilizer and seed coatings. It acts as a coating agent by preventing caking and improving flow in fertilizers, reducing water pick-up, protecting from crystal bridge formation, and reducing dust.

ALTIFIL™ Seed Coating offers the highest quality powdered seed flow lubricant available on the market. It is an environmentally safe, natural mineral that will not hurt seeds or plants as they grow. ALTIFIL™ seed flow lubricants are used in mechanical plate and vacuum planters for increased lubricity and wear protection, by reducing agglomeration and bridging. Small seeds benefit from the addition of ALTIFIL™, allowing them to easily slide off the planter plates. It works well with optical planting equipment, will not attract or trap dirt or grit (reducing mechanical wear and extending operating life), and it increases yields by reducing losses due to seed bridging in the planter.

Benefits include:

 

  • Anti-caking agent
  • Die lubricant
  • Dispersing agent
  • Dust reducer
  • Flowability
  • Inert carrier

Applications include:

 

  • Agriculture chemicals
  • Animal feed
  • Fertilizer
  • Seed coatings.

Fiberglass

Pyrophyllite is a key component in commercial production of E-Glass fibers, which enables the elimination of sand in the batch and improves batch-to-melt conversion efficiency and lowers conversion energy.

Plastics

Trinity offers a high brightness, high aspect ratio product that replaces talc as a reinforcing additive for strength.

Agriculture

Pyrophyllite’s presence in agriculture includes its use as an anti-caking agent and moisture barrier in feed pre-mixes, enhancing the flowability and effectiveness of agricultural products.

Ceramics

In ceramics, pyrophyllite is employed to manufacture high-temperature porcelain and whiteware, ensuring consistent and robust finished products in kiln firing processes.

Coatings

Pyrophyllite’s versatility extends to the paint and coatings industry, where it acts as an extender and corrosion-resistant pigment, enhancing the performance of coatings and paints.
