The science

by nature.

Discover how Minéalithe
has reimagined the formation
of minerals at low temperatures.

Our history
and our mission.

The human body can produce teeth or kidney stones at a temperature of 37°C in an aqueous environment. This was the starting point for our research in 2005, which focused on the creation of low-temperature minerals in liquid solutions.

The challenge was to reproduce the natural formation process of certain low-temperature rocks using mineral salts, but in an accelerated way, without the need to calcinate components, which would have involved significant energy consumption.

After 17 years of research, 15,000 test tubes and collaborations with renowned geologists and chemists, Minéalithe© led to the creation of Lithosynthèse© in 2023.

5 key points of Minéalithe

The Minéalithe© process is unlike any other. It’s not just another binder, glue, cement, geopolymer or sol-gel. We call it Lithosynthesis©, an intimate chemical reaction between its natural components, which recreates the stone and rock-forming processes in accelerated form. This new science is an original and remarkable technological breakthrough.

Unlike many “traditional” building materials such as cement, plaster, synthetic plaster or resin, Minéalithe© products have a lifespan probably equal to that of rock. Their chemical composition corresponds to that of stones found in nature.

The Minéalithe© process does not require heavy technology or a large energy source.
Most applications are carried out at room temperature or at low baking temperatures.
If the composition of the filler permits, a family of specific ceramics fired at wood-fired temperatures (850°) can be derived, offering remarkable properties. (The resulting ceramic product can withstand temperatures in excess of 1500°, in the case of refractory products).

One of the major advantages of the Minéalithe© process is that the products resulting from this technology are infinitely recyclable! As they are literally stones, they can be returned to the earth or used as a “filler” to create a new product. It’s as simple as that!

In the Minéalithe© process, we certify that all the components used are of natural origin and available worldwide, and that they have not been calcined at high temperatures.
This is soft chemistry involving only natural chemical reactions and not aided by the addition of petrochemical products or hydraulic binders.
