Bauxite
Bauxite is an alumina-rich ore used as refractory aggregate and as a source for alumina production.
Description
Calcined bauxite grades provide hardness and thermal stability for refractory formulations. Grading is selected for packing density and mechanical properties in castables and bricks.
Applications
- Aggregates in high-alumina castables and bricks
- Anti-skid and wear-resistant surfaces
- Filler in high-temperature mortars (grade-dependent)
Packaging
- Bagged or bulk on pallets with product and batch labels
- Protect from moisture and contamination
- Avoid excessive impact during handling
Storage
- Store in a dry, covered area away from moisture
- Keep packaging sealed when not in use
- Apply FIFO for multiple lots
