Phoslock is a modified clay product developed by PWS which removes phosphorus (filter reactive phosphorus -FRP) from water bodies. By reducing the FRP to very low levels Phoslock effectively breaks the algal cycle. Lorry Washow, Arncol president and chief executive officer, said, "The investment is complementary to our existing bentonite business which has been in operation for over 30 years. Acquiring these local bentonite mineral rights will not only strengthen our position in the metalcasting market, but will allow Volclay Pty Lrd the ability to grow in local construction markets and provide a valuable addition to Amcol's bentonite resources in the Asian region."
