Despite the warm summer weather we are enjoying currently, this is also the time of year when the cosmetics industry begins to gear itself up to produce gifts and box-sets for the Christmas market. Naturally, these will include body powders, dusting powders and colour cosmetics, all of which will require sterilised talc grades of the highest whiteness and purity. It means we are kept busy ensuring that we maintain higher than normal stock levels of those high quality talc grades that our customers and their markets always demand from us at this time
Recently Industrial Minerals Magazine, www.indmin.com , interviewed me for their monthly “Trading Faces” feature. It was an interesting exercise in that it forced me to consider the key issues facing the company over the coming years. It’s a long time since I asked myself “What is the role of a minerals distributor?” I fervently believe that the product alone is simply not the be all and end all. Our customers want on time deliveries, reliable quality and a supplier that is well informed, that they have confidence in. All at a competitive price. It is RBH goal to meet these objectives, every time.

Exciting new developments are taking place in the field of “wallboards”, also known as “plasterboard”. Magnesia board, a more environmentally friendly version of the traditional gypsum board has long been used in Asia. Magnesia board has advantages of fire resistance, strength, water resistance and acoustic insulation.
RBH are investigating the potential for this “new to Europe” construction product.
The issue regarding environmentally friendly products is becoming more significant and the impact of this on the environment and the respective carbon footprint is something that customers are taking into consideration when they decide upon which raw materials to use.
Richard Baker Harrison are becoming more aware of this and one of the products they market is a range of Cellulose Fibres produced by the Cellulose Fibre Fabrik (CFF) based in Gehren Germany. These products are marketed under the Trade names Technocel and Topcel. The products are derived from natural renewable resources and find applications such as Building Chemicals and Road Construction. Cellulose Fibres offer a range of improvements to Plasters and Renders: Adhesives: Filling Compounds; Bitumen based Products and Emulsion Paints. Just think that when you walk around the local DIY store that may of the products on the shelves could incorporate this renewable resource. On the way home the road surface may have been laid using a product referred to as Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA). SMA is a product which contains Cellulose fibre to prevent binder drainage in the Bitumen. It has a longer road life before it needs relaying and as such offers a substantial saving in relaying costs and hence offers a lower carbon footprint.
Cellulose Fibres under the Trade name of Topcel and Technocel contribute towards a better environment for us all and Richard Baker Harrison Ltd are always seeking products which can help in this aspect.
