The quality of functional fillers makes the difference!


KMI‘s functional minerals add value to your compounds


Kärntner Montanindustrie (KMI) is a world leading mining and processing company dealing with Micaceous Iron Oxide (MIOX®)


KMI uses unique processing technologies for micronization of high aspect ratio minerals


KMI‘s product range includes


Kärntner Montanindustrie (KMI), located in Austria, is the market leader in Micaceous Iron Oxide (MIOX®). KMI, as a specialist in micronization of high aspect ratio (HAR) minerals, extended their product portfolio to mica (Muscovite, Phlogopite) and Wollastonite.


These minerals have a higher aspect ratio, either platy or acicular, and they heavily influence the crucial properties of thermoplastic polymers, such as stiffness, impact and surface scratch resistance.


MIOX® for Process Optimization—Cycle Time Reduction


MIOX® shows unique properties in Polypropylene. A significant increase of thermal conductivity is reached already at low loading levels between 1 and 5 %-wt.


As a consequence, the cycle time could be decreased within the injection molding process, and consequently the process speed and the throughput could be increased while mechanical properties are maintained.


Industrial Applications


Injection Molding (e.g. Industrial Pipes)


Lamellar MIOX Lamellar Mica Acicular Wollastonite


The addition of 3% MIOX® Micro in injection molded PP/PE Copolymer improves the cycle time from 80 sec to less than 60 sec.


Extrusion (e.g. Industrial Pipes)
