For information on our products please contact Southern Clay Products, Inc. or Rockwood Additives Ltd. We're ready to work with you.         The international market of today holds little resemblance to what it was some fifty years ago as Southern Clay Products, Inc. found its beginnings. Though the policies and basic foundation of our corporation took us from a humble group of miners to becoming a globally recognized leader in our field, we cannot remain stagnant in hope that this success will continue. It is imperative to look towards tomorrow and aggressively stay one step ahead of our competitors. Southern Clay Products, Inc. will do so through innovation and reinvention. We will continue in our development of the highest quality synthetic and clay-based rheology modifiers available. Taking it one step further, Southern Clay Products, Inc. will go beyond clay-based products by developing and supplying synergistic chemistries to our strategic coatings, oilfield, paper, personal care and plastics markets. Finally, in the continuing effort to reinvent ourselves in order to stay competitive we will undertake nanocomposite organoclay technology development in an effort to expand beyond our traditional markets. We will take an active part in implementing the corporate culture of our parent company, Rockwood Specialties Group, Inc. Southern Clay Products, Inc. will also focus upon profitable growth both organically and through bolt-on acquisitions. With this strategy as a central focus, Southern Clay Products, Inc. will remain at the forefront of the chemical industry. This will not only lead us, personally, into greater success but will also supply the international market with a higher standard of additives for their own needs.
