Norkem is a major producer and supplier of water based suspensions for the manufacture of high quality clay bricks, roof tiles and pavers.
Formed originally from the pressure to move away from the use of toxic Barium Carbonate powder, the Norkem Group uses its technology and expertise to suspend a wide range of chemical additives and colours.
Norkem has manufactured BAC60 – 60% barium carbonate suspension – since 1990 for the treatment of soluble salt scumming. In 2000, Norkem launched BAC70 – 70% barium carbonate suspension – as a higher density product to reduce the amount of water being transported when the product is delivered to the end user.
