Role in BRISA:
Blocking toxicity of respirable crystallin silica in feldspars mineral with surface coating technology.
Kaltun Mining contributes as an industrial pilot partner to BRISA’s work on feldspar and its use in plastics and ceramics. Feldspar-based mineral materials can contain crystalline silica, which may pose health risks when fine particles become airborne and are inhaled.
Kaltun Mining supports the development and testing of surface coating technologies that aim to reduce the toxicity of respirable crystalline silica in these materials. Its contribution helps assess the potential of these solutions for industrial use in the plastics and ceramics sectors.
