BioPowder (bio-powder.com), a responsible producer and supplier of high-grade fruit stone powders and bio-based abrasives, has announced a strategic alliance with Gebrüder Dorfner GmbH & Co. Kaolin- und Kristallquarzsand-Werke KG (Dorfner), leading experts in the refinement and application of minerals and filler systems. The partnership combines BioPowder's core competency in sustainable plant-based additives with Dorfner's expertise in application engineering, creating product development opportunities and unlocking new areas of research.
Kathrin Schilling, Managing Director of BioPowder, said, "We are delighted to deepen our working relationship with Dorfner in this manner. They have been a reliable partner and I am certain our complementary offerings will pave the way for new product grades that cater to a diverse range of chemistries. Through this collaboration, we expect to enter and serve new markets, offering formulators novel solutions with functional, aesthetic, and environmental advantages."
Specifically, the two companies will develop a brand-new line of plant-based functional fillers and color particles that can complement conventional quartz and kaolin particles. Obtained from agricultural side-streams, these natural additives work as colored granules or ultra-fine fillers in coatings, composite materials, or flooring systems. Customers can also leverage Dorfner's cutting-edge surface treatment and application lab capabilities to develop bespoke lines of Olea FP (Functional Powders) according to their specific requirements.
