Replacement Of Chalco High Whiteness ATH For Solid Surface

Normally, high whiteness ATH are mainly producted by China manufacturers especially Chalco, the biggest manufacturer in China.

For solid surface, the color of more than 90% even 95% products all over the world is white, so the whiteness of filler is very important.

Last year, Chalco's capacity reduced a lot because of different factors like policy and strategy etc. Shortage of materails and delayed deliveries made many end users like LG H, Dupont, Samsung etc had to look for new sources and started to think about the risks of single suppliers. 

Except Chalco group, other ATH manufacturers like Martinal and Tor ect located in Europe. In short time, they can help end users to solve problems but their development strategies are following market then research top prodcuts finally.

From discussions with many customers, their R&D departments are adjusting recipes and testings more filler materials to replace ATH. In the future, something will be changed and new opportunities will created too.
