Canada's first wollastonite output will come from the project being developed by Orleans Resources, with a capacity of 50,000 tpy, expandable to 85,000 tpy. Until the new projects start up in Mexico and Canada, the only other significant producing countries are India and Finland. Producers of wollastonite such as NYCO are hoping to increase its market share in plastics applications and to introduce it into a wider range of resins. Currently it is principally used for the physical properties it brings to the plastics, rather than as a cheap filler material. The Economics of Wollastonite is the result of an extensive programme of research by Roskill analysts, including interviews with the major players in the industry, the use of specialist libraries and an exhaustive review of our unique in-house database.
Information gathering is only the first step in preparing a report.
The information is then extensively analysed so that the resulting report provides a comprehensive insight into the background to the industry and the current conditions, as well as a high standard of analysis and discussion of long-term prospects within the wollastonite industry. This is the definitive report for wollastonite producers and processors worldwide, for people in the ceramics, plastics and paint industries, for other end-users, for researchers and consultants, for trade associations, for government departments and for anyone needing to know more about wollastonite and its markets.
