Brands in Ceramics & Refractory

KRONOS is the TiO₂ company. We take pride in making the world brighter with the most effective whitening agent in the world – titanium dioxide. This inorganic compound pigment makes hundreds of things white – from your computer mouse to the paint on your wall. Paper, toothpaste, sunscreen, cosmetics and just about any other commonplace item colored white contains KRONOS TiO₂. TiO₂ also makes colors as brilliant as they can be.

CERALOX aluminas are used throughout the world in industries demanding the highest levels of alumina purity and consistency, combined with tailor-made physical properties. Sasol produces high purity and ultra-high purity alumina under the CERALOX tradename. CERALOX is a trademarked brand for high purity gamma (γ-Al2O3), transitional (δ-Al2O3 and θ-Al2O3) and alpha alumina (α-Al2O3). Sasol utilizes its proprietary high temperature calcination, milling, and forming technologies to produce alumina with a wide variety of physical properties. CERALOX alumina is available as free-flowing powders, granules, spheres, and high density pellets. CERALOX alumina products are based on proprietary aluminum alkoxide production technology and are available with up to 99.999% purity. CERALOX aluminas have a unique combination of purity and tailored physical properties that make CERALOX alumina excellent starting materials for a variety of applications including: sapphire crystal growth, lighting, inorganic chemical synthesis, alumina coatings, thermal spray, phosphors, polishing, and technical ceramics.

Barimite grades are produced from high-quality, natural, off-white barium sulfate ore. Cimbar’s broad range of Barimite products offer a clean, high purity, high specific gravity, low solubility and chemically inert filler for your formulations. Barimite products are a cost effective grades that are ideal for applications that do not require high brightness. These properties have made Barimite products the industry standard for consistent quality and performance in a wide range of end-use applications.

BRIOMICA® is a dry-ground ultra-white mica powder.

Roxal is a reclaimed Alumina which helps you lower your costs while benefiting the environment. It has some unique properties that make it ideal for use in phosphate bonded plastics, refractory brick and shapes.

SILFOAM® is WACKER’s innovative brand for smart foam control products. It covers silicone-based integrated system solutions for regulatingfoam-intensive applications, and thereby optimizing processes and end products. SILFOAM® foam-control systems are the result of a continuous process of applied R&D. SILFOAM® is carefully tested for its compatibility and effectiveness in the customer's formulations, thereby avoiding overfoaming in advance.

Cerablak™ technology is enabling new possibilities in high temperature materials science. Its original discovery stemmed from an accidental experimental result that yielded a nanocomposite consisting of carbon encapsulated in aluminophosphate glass that is stable above 1400°C in air. The black glass-ceramic led to the name “Cerablak™.” By further refining this discovery via molecular design, several unique products have been developed including transparent ultra-thin films. Cerablak™ is establishing a global footprint across diverse markets and applications with unmatched high temperature performance.

ZirCan products are specialty chemicals and Zirconium crosslinkers for paper and paperboard. It provides high quality products, simplified supply chain and locally tailored service for our partners to be more competitive and sustainable over the long term.

Our range of MICRONOX® pigments is a wide and complete solution for the needs of our customers, offering high-quality micronized inorganic pigments.

Poligen® wax types refer to pure waxes of oxidized polyethylene waxes or ethylene copolymers. Poligen® products are already emulsified waxes and are used for ready-to-formulate purposes. The oxidized ethylene polymers provide the property of emulsification and thus wax emulsions can be prepared. They are defined by their mechanical and physical properties. The chemical constitution is mainly different. Oxidized polyethylene waxes are of high hardness and higher molar mass.

Evonik is one of the leading producers of nanostructured metal oxides. These are highly pure aluminum oxides or titanium dioxides. Evonik's portfolio also consists of a growing range of hydrophobic and mixed oxides grades. AEROXIDE® fumed titanium dioxide and aluminum oxide products are applied in a wide range of markets and applications such as anti-blocking agent in PET films and heat stabilizer in silicone rubber. Evonik's experienced global Applied Technology team keeps developing new applications in close collaboration with customers.
