Main navigation BUSINESS GROUP FINANCE TALENT NEWS & STORIES MEDIA EN FR CONSTRUCTION Smart solutions for better buildings CHALLENGES & SOLUTIONS Urbanization is growing exponentially and strongly impacting the construction industry. Construction companies must build leaner, smarter and faster in a context of continually stricter safety and energy efficiency standards. This trend demands easy-to-apply, quick-dry products that are robust, cost-effective and high-performing. Imerys is uniquely positioned to help the sector meet these challenges with our broad portfolio of mineral solutions used in everything from solar panels, dry mortars and plasters, adhesives and sealants, to ceramic sanitaryware, flooring, paint, tiles, pipes and window frames. Imerys solutions facilitate fast performance and lean delivery. For example, talc, kaolin and calcium carbonate provide opacity in paints so they can be applied in a single coat. Calcium aluminate speeds up strength development and drying in dry-mix mortars. Calcium carbonate and kaolin improve the mechanical properties of sealants at lower weights. We are also boosting sustainable building through solutions that include fillers for insulation; cool roof technology based on highly reflective white granules; and calcium carbonate alternatives to Portland cement that reduce carbon emissions. Putting our expertise to work for our customers requires developing solutions that power performance, ensuring ease-of-use, robustness, high aesthetic performance and lean mix design: products that do more for less. We have decades of experience in construction markets, meaning that, beyond innovative products, our customers benefit from our unique technical support and bespoke formulation services.

The calcium aluminate specialty binder TERNAL® White is free from alkalis and lime hydration products, which prevents efflorescence and enhances color durability. TERNAL® White offers unequalled aesthetic performance in decorative materials from colored grouts to adhesives for natural stone and fine mortars for smoothing walls. A liquid version – Exalt® – offers the same remarkable benefits for architectural coatings such as paints and plasters. Get more information and advice from our team of experts.
