Rare Earth Minerals - Staurolite Concentrate

Staurolite Concentrate is a naturally occurring aluminum iron silicate mineral (Fe₂Al₉Si₄O₂₃) known for its high hardness, durability, and resistance to chemical weathering. It typically appears as dark brown to reddish-brown granules with a rough texture.  

Staurolite is valued for its abrasive properties, low free silica content, and high specific gravity, making it an ideal material for abrasive blasting, waterjet cutting, foundry casting, and high-performance coatings.

✔️ High hardness & durability, ensuring long-lasting abrasive efficiency.
✔️ Low free silica (<1%), reducing health hazards in blasting applications.
✔️ High specific gravity, improving stability in foundry and filtration applications.
✔️ Eco-friendly alternative to silica sand, making it safer for industrial use.
✔️ Versatile applications, covering abrasives, foundries, coatings, and construction.

• Used as a low-dust, non-toxic blasting media for cleaning steel, concrete, and ship surfaces.
• Preferred for rust, paint, and scale removal due to its low silica content (<1%), minimizing health risks.
• Provides sharp, consistent cutting edges, enhancing surface roughness for coatings.

• Applied in high-precision waterjet cutting for metals, ceramics, and composites.
• Used in abrasive grinding and polishing applications for tough materials.

• Acts as a high-performance molding sand in foundries, improving metal castings.
• Ensures smooth surface finishes in precision casting applications.
• Reduces gas defects and increases mold strength for ferrous and non-ferrous metal castings.

• Used in high-friction coatings for roads, bridges, and runways.
• Enhances anti-skid properties in industrial floor coatings.

• Applied in water filtration systems for its high-density and non-reactive properties.
• Used in soil stabilization and erosion control in construction projects.
