Overview
Olivine Sand is a high-quality material prized for its thermal stability and heat resistance. Composed mainly of olivine, a magnesium iron silicate, it's perfect for various industrial applications, especially in foundries and steel production.
Advantages
High Melting Point: With a melting point around 1,750°C to 1,800°C, olivine sand can handle high temperatures, ensuring durability and performance.
Thermal Stability: Excellent thermal shock resistance and low thermal expansion reduce defects in metal castings.
Chemical Resistance: Resistant to chemical erosion, making it reliable for lining furnaces and other high-temperature equipment.
Eco-Friendly: Naturally occurring and non-toxic, olivine sand is a sustainable choice for industrial use.
Applications & Uses
Foundry Industry: Perfect for molding intricate metal castings, especially manganese steel castings
Steel Industry: Ideal for lining tundishes and induction furnaces due to its heat and chemical resistance.
Industrial Applications: Suitable for any high-temperature application needing a durable and stable material.
