The division HPF Mineral Engineers has been developing and selling innovative high-performance fillers and additives for polymer systems based on natural and synthetic minerals for years. Thanks to the long-lasting experience and equipment HPF is in a position to help customers around the world to improve their polymer systems by unique filler solutions in the sectors
HPF The Mineral Engineers offers solutions with which new types of industrial coating can be formulated to be environmentally compatible. For example, in corrosion protection formulations, zinc phosphate has been completely or partially replaced by surface-treated fillers from the TREMIN® product series based on wollastonite or TREFIL® based on phlogopite with very good results. By using a filler combination of TREMIN® wollastonite and Chinafill kaolin, the formulation can be made not only more environmentally friendly but also more cost-effective.
Rotor blades for offshore wind turbines are exposed to extreme and contrasting weather conditions. By using the surface-treated high-performance fillers TREMIN® wollastonite and SILBOND®quartz powder, HPF The Mineral Engineers has succeeded in developing the basis for a resistant coating against rain erosion.
High-performance fillers offer the following advantages in industrial coating:
- high surface hardness
- improved corrosion protection properties
- excellent weather resistance
- improved chalking stability
- cost-effective formulation
A whole team of highly trained specialists is employed in the research and development as well as in the laboratory. In 2021, HPF Minerals Tech Ltd. state-of-the art production plant went into operation in Dangjin, South Korea additionally to HPF site in Frechen, Germany. Both production sites with experienced personnel can adjust flexibly and quickly to new problems and products. Units of various sizes are available in our plants for the processing and surface treatment of mineral raw materials ranging to a few hundred nanometers. The high-performance fillers produced in proven quality are supplied all over the world.
