Geared towards our clients' operational requirements, the idea behind this investment is to speed up the launch of new products to meet the emerging needs of our key markets.

Performance Minerals APAC develops new generation GCC product to break into India’s largest plastic market.

Thiele Kaolin Company and Imerys Performance Minerals jointly announce that they have entered into an agreement of sale, through which
Thiele will acquire certain Imerys kaolin assets that primarily support the paper and board industry.

In a traditional firing process, sanitaryware pieces are placed on kiln furniture to proceed to firing. The extreme heat causes the ceramic piece to shrink, which creates friction with the kiln furniture, sometimes resulting in defects such as glaze chipping or foot deformation on the fired piece.

To reduce the occurrence of these defects, single use tiles are placed between the piece and the kiln furniture. While this solution has proven its efficiency, its environmental impact is questioned, as single used tiles are increasing the manufacturer’s waste.

Imerys has decided to address this issue and has developed ShrinkSan, a patented kiln furniture system able to cope with the piece contraction during firing while being reusable and therefore sustainable.

Imerys proudly presents an eleven part webinar series with varying subjects focusing on our advancements in the plastics industry and the benefits Imerys minerals can bring.
