U.S. Silica stands out through a combination of materials expertise, vertically integrated operations, and a legacy of innovation in industrial minerals. At this year’s Expo, we’re spotlighting EverWhite® Pigment™, a proprietary white pigment alternative that delivers high whiteness and opacity with a lower cost and reduced carbon footprint versus TiO₂. We’re aiming to be more than just a raw materials supplier — we’re working to become a strategic partner known for helping compounders solve tough technical and economic challenges in color, sustainability, and performance. EverWhite Pigment is a new white mineral from US Silica that can help compounders achieve independence from titanium dioxide price and supply volatility. Come to booth C1106 to discuss further!
