Imerys in Denmark
Fur and Mors are the only locations on the planet to yield "true moler" which is a unique type of non-clumping clay formed some 54 million years ago. The ore has been mined on these islands since the mid-1940s.
Moler typically comprises two-thirds diatomaceous earth and one-third smectite clay. Due to the unique porous morphology of the diatoms and the swelling capabilities of clay, moler is an excellent material for absorbing liquids and for odor retention, making it a valuable ingredient for a variety of end products and industries.
In addition to producing moler and calcined moler, we process other minerals at our Imerys facilities in Denmark, including bentonite, perlite, attapulgite and montmorillonite, which are sourced from our operations elsewhere in the world.
Harnessing these premium natural resources, our Danish operations develop and market a comprehensive line of finished products such as absorbents for cleaning up chemical and oil spills and a broad range of cat litter grades. We also supply beneficiated and engineered mineral solutions for use in water filtration and defluorination, emissions control, animal feed, agriculture, soil conditioning, horticulture and cement, among others.
Animal welfare
Used in animal feed and premixes, our Diamol® moler grade is an effective anti-caking agent, vitamin carrier and digestion aid. Our highly absorbent Animol® moler is an excellent solution for improving animal bedding, reducing effluents and contributing to increasing the welfare of livestock.
