Biesterfeld receives exclusive distribution rights for kaolin

From the start of June, Biesterfeld Spezialchemie will be the official distributor for Pharmakaolin B 860 (INCI: KAOLIN), which is made by the HPF The Mineral Engineers division of Quarzwerke Group, in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Benelux countries, Spain, Portugal, Greece and the Czech Republic. This natural raw material is used in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries to manufacture pastes, tablets, powders, balms, face masks, deodorants, colour cosmetics and soaps.

Pharmakaolin B 860 is a bright white clay of German origin, which meets all Pharmacopoeia Europaea requirements for "kaolin, heavy/kaolinum ponderosum" for both external and internal applications. It is characterised by its very high kaolinite content and is odourless, with fine particles and a soft feel. Pharmakaolin B 860 disperses easily in water; it is a raw material that has a high binding capacity for liquids and is non-hygroscopic.

"We are very pleased with the trust our partner Quarzwerke has shown in us by granting these exclusive distribution rights," says Dominik von Borstel, Product Manager Essential Chemicals at Biesterfeld Spezialchemie. "The closer partnership will allow us to make even better use of our product expertise and knowledge of the market."
