Periodic Products to explore opportunities for Chelok® Polymer Technology across mining and extractives markets.
Sarasota, Florida, USA — June 26,2026 — Periodic Products announced its intention to partner with Square Gate Group to explore market opportunities for its innovative Chelok® Polymer Technology within southern Africa’s mining, extractives, and environmental remediation sectors.
As global demand for metals continues to rise and mining companies face increasing pressure to improve efficiency and environmental performance, innovative recovery technologies are becoming essential. Chelok® Polymer Technology offers a scalable solution designed to recover metals while reducing reliance on traditional chemical processes.
The patented technology provides a cost-effective and highly efficient approach to removing, concentrating, and recovering metals from a wide range of inputs. Unlike traditional approaches, Chelok technology is designed to recover metals without the use of chemical precipitants or ion exchange resins.
Chelok polymers are non-toxic, reusable (up to 40 cycles), and scalable, offering potential applications across mining operations, industrial applications, and environmental remediation efforts in southern Africa and other global markets.
“We are excited to partner with Square Gate Group to identify potential business opportunities in southern Africa,” said Dr. Joseph Laurino, Ph.D., President and CEO of Periodic Products. “Chelok® Polymer Technology can support more efficient metal recovery while helping businesses address environmental challenges associated with metals processing and water treatment.”
This initiative will begin at the Future of Mining Summit 2026, held in Gaborone, Botswana, June 29–30. The annual summit, organized by The Project Magazine in partnership with the Botswana Chamber of Mines, brings together mining industry leaders to discuss innovation, sustainability, future business models, and best practices across the global extractives sector.
