RockTron fillers and extenders offer benefits including environmental, product performance, process improvement, cost reduction and antibacterial protection.
Environmental – “ RockTron Eco-Minerals”
RockTron’s production is in effect the 100% processing of waste pulverised fuel ash (PFA) from coal-fired power stations stored in landfill sites. Therefore any products using RockTron fillers or extenders can benefit significantly from the genuine environmental and sustainable sourcing advantages that RockTron provides. Our customers have a significant competitive advantage because only they can offer sustainably sourced filler products with “RockTron Inside”.
Corporate Social Responsibility - CSR
The growing pressure on companies to actively demonstrate a more responsible role towards the environment and sustainability means there is a real advantage to be gained by specifying and using RockTron products.
