Naturally occurring sulphate rock as a mineral raw material for use in industrial applications:
- as a sulphate carrier in the production of cements
- as a sulphate carrier in the manufacture of aerated concrete building products
- as a sulphate carrier in the production of cement-based binders for building chemical products, e.g. fillers, levelling compounds, adhesive mortars
- as a filler material in the production of building chemical products
- as a filler and/or reinforcing material in the compounding and production of plastics (thermoplastics, thermosets, elastomers)
- as an input material of inorganic origin, extracted from domestic mineral deposits, crushed, dry ground and produced in Germany without additives
