MinChem Ltd was formed in 2000 by a management buy-out of the well-established Minerals and Chemicals division of Palabora Europe Ltd (the Mandoval Ltd), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Palabora Mining Co Ltd, South Africa, which in turn is part of Rio Tinto Plc.

MinChem Ltd offers a range of specialised inorganic and mineral-based products for use in world markets in abrasives, animal feed, catalysts (industrial and auto), ceramics (advanced, fine and technical), chemical manufacture, coatings, electronics, healthcare, leather tanning, metal finishing, paper and board, pharmaceuticals, refractories (cement, glass and steel) and related areas.

Carrying on from Palabora's market leader position in baddeleyite zirconium (Zr) products, MinChem's baseline is Zr oxides and reactive Zr chemicals. In addition, we supply various forms of aluminium, cobalt, potassium, sodium, titanium, nickel and other salts. Marketing these niche products is covered by agency/distributorship/special arrangements with leading manufacturers around the world.
