Bauxite 5–8mm

From Harbour Refractory — reference entry

A sized bauxite aggregate (5–8 mm) for refractory batching and wear-resistant surfaces.

Description

The selected fraction functions as skeleton aggregate in castables and bricks to achieve target packing curves and mechanical stability.

Applications

  • Skeleton aggregate in high-alumina castables
  • Wear-resistant and anti-skid mixes
  • Graded blends for tailored density and flow behavior

Packaging

  • Sealed bags or bulk bags on pallets with size labeling
  • Batch identification for traceability
  • Avoid prolonged stacking loads or impact

Storage

  • Keep dry and covered; reseal after opening
  • Prevent contamination with fines or foreign matter
  • Use FIFO for consistent batching
