About Minerals, Aggregates and Mineral Powders
Minerals, aggregates, and mineral powders consist of bulk or particulate forms of silicates, clays, calcium carbonate, wollastonite, and other additives. Minerals, aggregates, and mineral powders are commonly used to extend, fill, strengthen or modify plastics, coatings, adhesives, and other materials.
Many minerals, aggregates, and mineral powders are used as fillers and extenders in other compounds because they are chemically inert. Mineral powder such as mica or slate is used in paints, resins, and plastics. Ground calcium carbonate is a fine limestone compound that is used in asphalt roofing tiles, vinyl flooring, and as a component in adhesives and sealants. Minerals, aggregates, and mineral powders are also used in chemical and metallurgical production, including the manufacture of steel, iron and glass materials.
