Validated for Industrial Use

The trials, conducted in Alcora, Spain, were led by the Institute of Ceramic Technology (ITC) and Galesk Consultancy. Two glaze types—glossy and matt—were tested using Great White CRM™, replacing the industry-standard kaolin. The results confirmed stronger adhesion, greater whiteness, and reduced impurities, with measurable gains such as:

Glossy tiles: L* value of 92.1 (vs 91.4 standard)
Matt tiles: L* value of 80.1 (vs 78.5 standard)
Detachment force: 17N (glossy), 69N (matt), surpassing benchmarks

These enhanced physical attributes make Great White CRM™ highly suitable for high-end ceramic tiles, a key product in the Southern European market.

Commercial Implications and Strategic Development

Andromeda now aims to leverage the positive trial outcomes for deeper engagement with ceramic glaze producers and to attract offtake partners. The success strengthens the case for securing funding for Stage 1A+ of the Great White Project. Currently, the company is working toward finalising financing arrangements to support a final investment decision.

According to internal data, the Great White CRM™'s performance improvements in whiteness, adhesion, and chromatic purity also support trends in modern design, where cleaner and cooler tones are preferred. These features could make the product a compelling option for manufacturers aiming to innovate or enhance their premium product lines.

Position Among ASX200 Stocks

While Andromeda Metals (ASX:ADN) is not currently a constituent of the ASX200 stocks, its latest industrial success and growing international interest position it as a rising contender within the mining and industrial materials sector. With the ASX200 often dominated by larger-cap companies, breakthroughs like these highlight the innovation and growth potential within emerging players.

As Andromeda progresses toward full-scale commercialisation of its kaolin-based solutions, its expanding global footprint and technical validation are likely to generate significant interest among industrial partners and the broader investment community.
