🐾🐈Happy International Cat Day to all the purr-fect pets and their humans. Here’s a fun fact: a cat can go through 200 kg of cat litter per year, making litter tray hygiene essential. Bentonite, a litter-ally amazing mineral, absorbs moisture and liquids up to 3x times its own weight, forming clumps that can be easily scooped up. Our latest bentonite-based solution, BCAT Premium takes it a step further with an eco-friendly touch. Made in the EU, it has a smaller carbon footprint (18 kg less CO2 per cat each year) than commonly used overseas solutions. It’s also 100% natural, anti-bacterial and has active odor control. Let’s give a round of a-paws for cleaner, more eco-friendly litter trays. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3LUVW1g

Did you know that #minerals can play a key role in the development of solutions for sustainable construction? In this sector, #Imerys has a long standing partnership with #Hilti, leveraging Exalt™ Patented Aluminate Technology. This great collaboration resulted in Hilti launching the HIT - FP 700 R, the first injectable cementitious adhesive anchor for fire-resistant structural rebar connections. With its unique cementitious properties, HIT – FP 700 R behaves like concrete in case of a fire, allowing for simple fire design for post-installed rebar connections where performance at elevated temperatures is critical. This innovative technology was on full display as we were invited to attend the 3rd Supplier Day hosted by Hilti in Schaan, #Liechtenstein this June, celebrating key suppliers and were honored with the Innovation Excellence award! We look forward to further strengthening our collaboration and driving #SustainableConstruction forward. Find out more about #Imerys’ adhesive solutions here: https://bit.ly/3WR3atB
