Applications - São Judas

MAIN APPLICATIONS

MAIN APPLICATIONS OF ARE JUDAS ORE

Focused on mineral extraction using modern techniques, as well as on environmental preservation and especially on partnerships with customers, Mineração São Judas currently has three mineral processing units, with large mining areas and reserves.

Paints

By using our ores within granulometric and whiteness specifications, as mineral filler in paints, in addition to acting with TITANIUM DIOXIDE (TiO2) extender, they provide excellent wet and dry coverage. They also influence the matting of the final product.

Soap and powder detergents

When used as fillers in soaps and powder detergents, São Judas minerals provide high moisture retention, better consistency and drying of the final mass, greater softness and appearance to the soaps and weight control of the final product.

Synthetic Resins

The addition of our minerals to polymers (PVC and PP) used in soles, conduits, profiles, tubes, connections and conductors, in addition to providing cost reduction and polymer technological improvement, contributes to several factors.

Polymers

In polypropylene, mineral fillers are added, predominantly in the form of lamellar particles (talcs), in order to obtain reinforcement characteristics to the polymer, thus increasing dimensional stability, rigidity, in addition to reducing the costs of the compounds.

Rations

The São Judas limestone is used as a vehicle to adjust compositions and facilitate homogenization. The product increases the weight, and maintains the environment of preservation of nutrients, as it does not change the final product.

Paper And Cellulose

Talc is used in pitch control, during the manufacture of pulp, absorbing the excess of pine or eucalyptus resin. The talc, within the proper morphological specifications, makes it possible to agglomerate the resin particles released during mechanical or chemical shredding.

Plastic Putties

The ores are used as filler, to improve homogenization with the polyester resin, helping to improve the visual appearance, referring to the whiteness of the final product.

Fiberglass

When added to the mixture of polyester resin, additives and solvents to obtain a gel - primer, our ores can offer advantages.

Fertilizers

São Judas talc mineral products are added to the mixture as a filler to reduce humidity; act as an anti-caking agent and as a lubricant for the machinery in the face of friction.

Ceramics

Talc ores are used in ceramic masses to resist thermal shock, mainly, contributing to the dimensional stability of the pieces.

Rubbers

São Judas ores are used as mineral filler, which in addition to reducing costs, confer several advantages to the final product.

Adhesives and sealants

São Judas industrial ores are used in sealing adhesives, given the rheological properties that the formulations incorporate.
