Info

Natural mineral

Highly refractory with very high melting point. Is the first mineral to crystallise from a mafic magma. Olivine’s physical characteristics make it appropriate for use in many high temperature applications.
Uses: Eccentric bottom tapping (EBT) taphole filler • slag conditioning • refractory bricks / castables / tundish linings • blasting abrasive • foundry sand • fluidised bed combustion (FBC) • CO₂ sequestration (combined with Mg) • fertiliser / soil amendment • water purification • mineral wool production.

Angular Shape

Black Silicon Carbide (SiC) is produced at high temperature in an electric resistance type furnace with quarts sand and petroleum coke. It stands out through a series of excellent physical characteristics, like: • high hardness • high electric and thermal conductivity • low thermal expansion • outstanding thermal shock resistance.
Silicon Carbide Grit is the hardest blasting media available (9.3 Mohs scale). Its grains are black hexagonal crystals with fragile and sharp properties. • High Purity with Minimal Contaminants. • The hardness of Silicon Carbide Grit allows for shorter blast times relative to softer medias.
Silicon Carbide, Refractory and Foundry Additive is widely used in: • refractory bricks • monolithic refractory materials • reinforcing filler • coating materials • and production of SiC-based refractory composites by combining black SiC with other materials.
