Sillimanite
Sillimanite, in its natural and untreated form, serves as a vital raw material for high alumina refractories, sourced from aluminium-rich environments at elevated temperatures. Its industrial applications hinge on distinctive chemical and physical properties, characterized by high alumina content and lower levels of Fe2O3 and LOI. Withstanding high temperatures and pressure, sillimanite proves highly suitable for refractory and foundry applications, finding extensive use in Iron and Steel, Petrochemicals, Electrical, Cement, Zinc, Glass, Refractory, Foundry, Precision Investment Casting, Electrical Porcelains, Sanitary Ware, and Abrasives industries. Whether in raw or calcined form, sillimanite plays a crucial role in manufacturing refractory bricks, shapes, castings, monolithic, ramming, and gunning mixtures. Downloads: TM_Sillimanite.pdf
