MICRON BARYTES
Void filled crystals in sedimentary rocks, Micron Barytes are used in industries as varied as Paint, Rubber and Glass to Chemicals, Pharma and other Ceramics.
Barium sulphate found naturally, also known as barites occurs as concretions or void- filled crystals in sedimentary rocks. Commercial mines produce barites from these residual deposits. Hard and compact, barytes look like fine grained rocks of sediment, pinkish, greyish or yellow in colour and insoluble in oil and water.
​
Micron Baryte has excellent pigmentation and compatibility, which makes for great use in exterior paints. Its high gloss index makes it useful in enamel application and high refractive index enhances the composition of glass and ceramics.
The mineral’s hard grittiness makes it an excellent material for break lining and friction material and imparting impermeability and durability to marine paints and industrial coatings. It also has a heightened resistance to weathering and chemicals, giving it great adhesive and sealant properties.
MICRON TALC
Soft, soapy, glossy in nature and odourless, Micron Talc has applicability in Paints, Cosmetics, Pharma and Paper industries. It is also used in Ceramic, Rubber and Polymer industries.
With a soapy nature and glossy look, micron talc is one of the softest minerals that we produce. Belonging to the family of silicates, micron talc is metamorphic in nature, white and odourless and insoluble in water.
Micron Talc makes paper products smooth and bright, and acts as a pitch observer. It improves thermal shock resistance and gives ceramics superior electrical properties. It also enhances toughness in spark plugs and switch boards and improves dry pressure resistance.
Because of its corrosion protection properties, it enhances the durability of paints and is used in the rubber industry as reinforcement fillers, also lending high end gloss to surfaces. The material gives plastics an enhanced thermal resistance, electrical resistance and enhanced chemical resistance and its super fineness, makes its use apt as talc in the cosmetic industry.
MICRON DOLOMITE & LIMESTONE
Fine Dolomite and Limestone have a variety of uses in Paints, Glass, Rubber and Pharma industries. Limestone is also used in Chemical and Pharmaceutical products.
MICRON CALCITE
Textured and light colored, Micron Calcite is used extensively in Plastic and PVC pipe industries. Its applications also extend to Polymer Manufacturers, Chemicals, Paints, Pharma, Cosmetics and Ceramic industries.
Calcite or limestone are sedimentary rocks with more than 95% calcium (CaCO3). Limestone often occurs as a by-product of various processes with calcite being one of its prime component, intensely reactive to dilute hydrochloric acid. Hard in nature and of varying grain sizes, calcite crystals form compact light coloured lumps with differing textures.
Micron Calcite has a high gloss quotient and vivid whiteness that makes it perfect for use in paints, ceramics, inks and powder coating industry. Its perfect corrosion resistance helps in the longevity and rigidity of PVC pipes. It is used as a flux in glass industry and in sizing of textile goods because of better surface finish.
Calcite has excellent dispersion qualities, good surface quality, lowers mould shrinkage and prevents chalking making it a versatile mineral in the rubber industry, automotive industry and in the use of furniture compounds
Hard, gritty, denser than limestone and a true double salt, Micron Dolomite is formed by replacement of calcium in a calcium carbonate crystal and exists in separate layers within the crystal matrix.
Mineral Dolomite is a chemically uniform calcium magnesium carbonate, while dolomite limestone is an irregular mix of calcium and magnesium carbonates.
Micron Dolomite is hard and gritty and is used for construction and building applications. It makes wonderful filler for asphalt and concrete applications and the magnesium in it makes it apt for glass and ceramic industries and flux in steel making.
Dolomite is used in the pharmaceutical industry for making a variety of magnesium salts including magnesium oxide and magnesia and farmers use the mineral too in maintaining agricultural pH.
RED OXIDE
Red oxide is a fine red powder that acts as a primer in Paints, Structured Steel, underside of Ship Bottoms and also Automobile bodies.
Also called iron oxide, red oxide is red, lustreless and offers corrosion protection to metals. One of nature's most widely occurring minerals, it can also be found in a yellow and black colour tone. Fine and powdered, yellow oxide is free flowing, has a fairly acidic pH and reacts with oxygen readily.
Red Oxide has its widest applications in the paint industry. From primer, to undercoat and powder coating, it is used in almost every type of paint. Its unique pigmentation lends a beautiful colour to tiles, floor products, ceramics and pottery. Red oxide is commonly mixed with cement for red floor colouring. Synthetic red oxide is also used as colouring in the plastic and rubber industry.
The mineral's non-corrosive properties, act as a primer for ship bottoms, structural steel and powder coating of metals. The tough barrier it provides also acts as an excellent UV absorption layer and aids in weather resistance.
DIATOMACEOUS EARTH
Formed by fossil remains and comprising of quartz, Diatomaceous Earth has wide ranging applications in Agriculture, Pest Control, Construction, Filtration, Paint and Mild Abrasions.
Soft, crumbly and porous, diatomaceous earth is a sedimentary deposit formed from fossil remains of diatoms. It is composed of silica-containing skeletons of fossilised diatoms (marine and freshwater organisms). Diatom skeletons comprise amorphous (non-crystalline) silica, including quartz and cristobalite.
Because of their methods of formation and blends with clay and minerals, diatomaceous earth has varying amounts of silica. The diatom species differs dependent on age and paleo-environment of the deposit. The earth can either be granulated, milled or micronised and calcined.
Diatomaceous Earth is anti-bacterial, insecticidal and a steriliser. Its non-toxic nature helps in treatment of scouring and diarrhoea in animals, control of fleas and ticks, maintains better coat and hooves condition and decreases mastitis.
The mineral’s immune boosting properties directly translates into increased milk production in cattle, better egg production and stronger eggs, and minimises animal stress. It stimulates metabolism in livestock such as rabbits, sheep, goats, pigs and horses and reduces mortality (and in turn vet bills).
Diatomaceous earth absorbs and reduces moisture and odour in barns and prevents fly larvae growing in manure, thereby controlling flies.
