Specialty Minerals Products for Paint and Coatings

Our lives are touched daily by countless products made with some kind of paint or coating. These products are on the walls of our houses, on the surfaces of appliances and furniture, on our children’s bikes and wagons, on the cars we drive to work, the bridges we drive over, the ships that may have brought us those cars in the first place, on the file cabinets in our offices, and on machinery and storage tanks in our factories.
