About Andalusite

Andalusite is a unique mineral with distinctive properties that is widely used in various industries, especially in the refractory and ceramic industries. Due to its high resistance to high temperatures and its pacifying characteristics, it can be a suitable substitute for zircon and alumina in the production of glazes and enrobes for tiles.

In addition to refractory applications, Andalusite is also used in the manufacture of sanitary porcelain and white china.

With its specific characteristics, Andalusite is recognized not only as a refractory material but also as an effective material in the ceramics industry and in the production of china. This material can be presented as an economical and efficient option for replacing more traditional materials such as zircon and alumina.

application

Andalusite-based refractories are used principally in iron and steel making, mostly in monolithic linings in blast furnaces, stove brick and checkers, torpedo transfer, hot metal mixers, casting ladles, and induction furnaces, Andalusite shapes are used in cement kilns, the glass industry, in and in induction furnaces.

Andalusite refractories are also used effectively under abrasive conditions where high loads and high temperatures exist. Also in stack linings and kiln furniture, monolithic cast able linings, ramming mixes and heat exchangers, heat treatment furnaces.

While andalusite consumption in the Western Hemisphere has traditionally been at a low level, because of restricted availability, industrial furnaces in the world have now the opportunity to reduce costs by effectively utilizing a world class andalusite.
