Mintek Resources

What Mintek Resources does

Mintek Resources, Inc. is a U.S. chemical reagent supplier and distributor headquartered in Beavercreek, Ohio, founded in 1994 and operating as a wholly owned subsidiary of Carmeuse North America. The company sells lime-based and calcium-based reagents — Calciment® LKD (lime kiln dust, supplied exclusively by Mintek), quicklime, Construction Quicklime (CQL), high-calcium hydrated lime, and distributed products (Portland cement, bed ash, fly ash, cement kiln dust) — for soil drying, modification, stabilization, full-depth reclamation, and anti-strip asphalt applications. Customers include construction contractors, state DOTs, federal agencies (US Army Corps of Engineers, EPA), oil and gas operators, environmental remediation firms, and industrial/wastewater operators across 34+ U.S. states, with Mintek shipping hundreds of thousands of tons of material annually via pneumatic truck, dump truck, supersacks, barge, rail car, and portable storage PIGs.

The business is sales-led, organized into five regional sales territories (Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, Southwest, Southeast, Northwest) and supported by a Carmeuse Innovation Center soils laboratory offering ASTM/AASHTO-standard testing (proctor, CBR, plasticity, pH, UCS) and mix-design consulting. The company holds DOT product approvals in 20+ states and claims participation in 200+ Superfund Sites, supplying marquee projects such as O'Hare International Airport runway modernization, the VDOT I-81 Full Depth Reclamation project (the first U.S. Federal Highway FDR project), and distribution-center construction for Amazon, FedEx, Walmart, IKEA, and Honda. A Dose Rate Calculator online tool and a portable Storage PIG rental program (each ~100 tons) complement the core reagent sales with site-level logistics and dosing support. In 2025, Mintek expanded through the acquisition of Omni Materials, a fellow calcium-based reagent supplier.

Revenue mechanics are bulk industrial product sales priced on a quote basis (not publicly disclosed), with monthly fuel surcharge adjustments. Pricing is opaque; no subscription, licensing, or SaaS layer exists. Customer concentration leans toward enterprise and government accounts, and end-market exposure spans construction, oil & gas, environmental remediation, waste treatment, industrial services, and biosolids — a diversified vertical footprint that mitigates single-segment cyclicality but ties revenue closely to U.S. non-residential infrastructure and remediation spending.

Core offering

Mintek Resources supplies and distributes lime-based chemical reagents used to dry, modify, and stabilize soils, sediments, and waste streams. Its core catalog includes Calciment LKD (a lime kiln dust co-product supplied exclusively by Mintek), Quicklime, Construction Quicklime (CQL), High Calcium Hydrated Lime, and complementary distributed products (Portland cement, bed ash, fly ash, cement kiln dust). The company also rents portable Storage PIGs and provides geotechnical lab testing and mix design support via the Carmeuse Innovation Center.

Product overview

Mintek Resources is a chemical reagent supplier offering a portfolio of lime-based and calcium-based products for soil treatment applications. The core product lineup includes Calciment® LKD (Lime Kiln Dust), Quicklime, Construction Quicklime (CQL), and High Calcium Hydrated Lime, complemented by Distributed Products (Portland cement, bed ash, fly ash, CKD). These products are used for soil drying, modification, stabilization, full depth reclamation, and anti-strip for asphalt applications across construction, oil and gas, environmental remediation, waste treatment, industrial services, and biosolids markets. Supporting services include equipment rental (Storage PIGs), a Dose Rate Calculator tool, and geotechnical support with laboratory testing capabilities.

Functional benefit

Brands

• Calciment: Calciment® LKD is a co-product of lime manufacturing and suitable alternative to quicklime or Portland cement, offered exclusively by Mintek.
• CQL

Products and services

• Calciment LKD (Lime Kiln Dust) Co-product of lime manufacturing supplied exclusively by Mintek, containing calcium and magnesium oxide plus pozzolans, with >30% CaO+MgO and ~25% available lime; used as an alternative to quicklime or Portland cement for drying, modifying, and stabilizing soils, sediments, and waste streams with short- and long-term strength gains and LEED recycled content qualification.
• Quicklime Calcium oxide (CaO) quicklime derived from high-quality natural limestone with >90% available CaO; the fastest-drying option for wet soils, sediments, and waste streams, used to reduce soil plasticity index and adjust pH in environmental applications.
• Construction Quicklime (CQL) Engineered quicklime with finer particle size (twice as fine as traditional 1/4-inch by zero quicklime fines), higher surface area-to-volume ratio, mellow period of four hours or less, and better single-pass homogenization; accelerates hydration and chemical reaction with soil while expanding spreader compatibility.
• High Calcium Hydrated Lime Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) hydrated lime with >85% calcium hydroxide and >65% available CaO; used as an anti-strip agent in asphalt and for drying, modifying, and stabilizing soils.
• Distributed Products Regionally distributed calcium-based reagents including Portland cement, bed ash, fly ash, and cement kiln dust (CKD), sold alongside core lime products for drying, modifying, and stabilizing applications.
• Storage PIGs (Equipment Rental) Portable bulk storage trailers that hold approximately 100-120 tons of dry bulk powders (lime, Calciment LKD, cement, bed ash, fly ash); available for lease to provide on-site inventory assurance at job sites across the United States.
• Geotechnical Support Services Technical advisory and laboratory services delivered through the Carmeuse Innovation Center, including soil testing (optimum moisture, unconfined compressive strength, pH, Atterberg limits, CBR, Proctor) and mix design recommendations per ASTM and AASHTO, complemented by on-site and remote troubleshooting and customer support.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Carmeuse North America: Parent company of Mintek Resources and a leading North American producer of lime, limestone, and related chemical reagents. It competes directly in lime-based soil stabilization, environmental remediation, and industrial reagents, and is the upstream supplier of Calciment LKD.
• Lhoist North America: One of the world's largest lime producers, with extensive North American operations serving construction, environmental, water treatment, and industrial customers. Direct competitor in lime-based soil stabilization and stabilization reagents.
• Graymont: Major North American lime producer supplying high-calcium and dolomitic lime products to construction, environmental, steel, and chemical end-markets. Competes with Mintek in lime-based soil stabilization and chemical reagent supply.
• Mississippi Lime Company: U.S. producer of high-calcium quicklime, hydrated lime, and related calcium reagents serving industrial, environmental, and construction customers. Direct competitor to Mintek's quicklime and hydrated lime lines.
• US Lime & Minerals: Publicly held lime producer operating limestone mines and lime plants across the U.S., supplying lime products to construction, oil and gas, and environmental markets. Competes with Mintek across multiple U.S. regional lime markets.
• Pete Lien & Sons: Family-owned producer of lime, limestone, and aggregate products serving construction, agriculture, and industrial customers in the Western U.S. Overlaps with Mintek on regional lime supply for soil stabilization and environmental applications.

Emerging players

• Charah Solutions: Provider of fly ash, bottom ash, and supplementary cementitious materials, overlapping with Mintek's distributed fly ash and cement kiln dust product lines for soil stabilization and concrete applications.
• Eco Material Technologies: Producer of fly ash, synthetic gypsum, and other coal combustion product derivatives used as cement alternatives and soil amendments. Adjacent competitor in distributed cementitious materials that Mintek also supplies.

Broad incumbents

• Vulcan Materials Company: Largest U.S. producer of construction aggregates (crushed stone, sand, gravel) serving infrastructure and construction customers that also buy lime-based soil stabilization products. Broad incumbent with overlapping construction customer base, though focused on aggregates rather than chemical reagents.
• Holcim US: Major U.S. cement and aggregates producer serving construction and infrastructure end-markets that also use lime-based soil stabilization. Broad incumbent competing indirectly for project specifications and possibly in distributed Portland cement and fly ash categories.
