  • Development and Production: Our Know-How for Tailor-Made Salts

    As a specialist in tailor-made Mineral Salts, we think about far more than just the actual production of a substance in our work.

    Even before we start synthesizing our Salts in the lab, we take into account the customers' requirements and the end product in which our Mineral Salt is to be used.

    On this basis, we design a product with specific chemical and physical properties using first-class Minerals. In this process, the Mineral Salt is subjected to extensive tests to verify its suitability for processing by the customer, and is then scaled up to pilot plant scale until it is ultimately ready for production.

    It is important to us to create a product in consistently high quality, but also a comprehensive concept for its application. In this respect, our service goes far beyond development, production and delivery – we continually help our customers to optimize their products.

    We have core expertise both in the production and analysis of Mineral Salts. We use an extensive arsenal of instruments to design and monitor the chemistry and physical properties
    of our products

    Our research and development laboratories use among others:

    • Scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray analyzer (REM/EDX)
    • Thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry (TGA-DSC)
    • Ion chromatography (IC)
    • Homogenizer
    • Zetasizer (particle size and surface zeta potential measurement)
    • Viscosimeter
    • Surface analysis (BET)
    • UV VIS spectrophotometer (color measurement)
    • aW measurement
    • Microwave moisture measurement
    • Kofler bench (microscope with camera)
    • Refractometer
    • Dissolution tester
    • Melting point apparatus
    • Tablet press
    • Flow properties test apparatus
    • CHN-analysis

    For our quality control we use among others:

    • Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS)
    • Atomic fluorescence spectroscopy (AFS)
    • Inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS)
    • Microbiological tests
    • Stability testing in accordance with ICH guidelines
    • High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)
    • Laser diffraction analysis to determine particle size
    • Optical rotation
    • Thin-layer chromatography (TLC)
    • Fluoride measurement system
    • IR spectrophotometer
    • Titroprocessors

    The aim is both to develop new products from lab scale to industrial production scale, and to further develop existing products and adapt them to the needs of changing markets.

    Process know-how

    Our precise knowledge and long years of experience as a manufacturer of Mineral Salts enable us to steer and control highly sophisticated process steps. The constant high purity of our Mineral Salts guarantees a defined chemical behavior and high process reliability, no matter how many batches have to be processed. We can adapt the chemical and physical properties of our products in line with their intended purpose, depending on where and how they are to be used, and can develop individual processes and solutions in collaboration with our customers.

    Your Value:

    • Specially controlled and pure product qualities
    • Reproducible product characteristics
    • Batch-to-batch consistency

    Manufacturing process

    Fundamental is the selection and homologation of the best suitable starting materials and the related supplier qualification process. During the complex manufacturing process various purification steps further improve the product quality in order to meet the respective specifications. Our water quality is a key contributor to the purity of the final products. Private wells, uncompromising quality control and in-house water treatment stations are the basis. These manufacturing steps are combined and repeated throughout the production process in order to ensure quality standards. All steps are monitored by in-process controls. Control is one key parameter during the process. It starts with the raw materials continued after each step and ends with the final products. The quality assurance of the final product is covered by sophisticated quality systems.
