Imerys presents Sustainable Mineral Solutions for the Plastics Industry
Interplast 2024, one of the most important fairs in the plastics sector in Latin America, will be the stage for Imerys, one of the main global suppliers of raw materials, to present its solutions in sustainable minerals. The products are destined for the plastic, rubber, adhesive and paint markets.
Recognized for its innovative mineral solutions, Imerys details at the fair how its products significantly contribute to improving performance, quality and industrial processes, while promoting sustainability and social responsibility. Visitors to Interplast will be able to explore how these minerals are integrated into formulations to improve characteristics such as strength, durability, flexibility and finish.
Minerals supplied by Imerys play a crucial role in improving the physical and mechanical properties of final products. In the plastics sector, for example, minerals can increase impact resistance, improve thermal stability and provide a better surface finish. In rubbers, they can increase durability and flexibility, while in adhesives, they can improve adhesion and heat resistance. In paints, minerals contribute to better coverage and durability.
