Cement

Cement is manufactured using a controlled combination of various chemicals, including aluminum, silicon, calcium and many other constituents. When heated, these blended chemicals form a very hard, rock-like product that is ground into the powder that is cement. ALTIFIL™ contains both the aluminum and silica components required in cement production, replacing kaolin and silica as source of aluminum silicate. ALTIFIL™ has very low levels of impurities, low iron content, and improves the high-resistance and insulating properties of cement, making it ideal for cement production.

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.
