Value Beyond Minerals means…innovation.
The minerals we mine and process have inherent physical and chemical qualities, but it takes expertise and innovation to convert quarried rock into functional and valuable products. Unimin engineers industrial minerals to isolate specific chemical, physical and performance properties and continuously refines and improves our product qualities to deliver value to our customers.
Unimin Corporation operates one of the world's largest industrial mineral research organizations.
Over the course of a lifetime, each of us will consume and use products made with millions of pounds of industrial minerals. Oil and natural gas production, ceramic floor tile, plastic film and solar energy panels all share a common starting point by being manufactured with industrial minerals. We build and decorate our homes, filter our water, operate businesses and factories and enjoy leisure time using Unimin products. Depending upon the application, finished products can take the form of powders, granules, aggregates or stones with chemical purities and "critical to quality" elements statistically controlled for predictable performance. Ultimately, our products represent solutions for our customers' many manufacturing and formulation challenges.
