Dolomite is a carbonate of calcium and magnesium. It has fine crystalline structure with high brightness.
- Dolomite has extensive application in steel plant, ceramic tiles, plastics and paper.
- It has very good exterior durability and so it has good application in paints.
Industrial Applications :
- Construction & Building : Due to the mineral increased hardness and density, while asphalt and concrete applications prefer dolomite as filler for its strength and hardness.
- Glass & Ceramics : Uses as a source of Magnesium. Large quantities of processed dolomite used in the production of Float glass. It also finds use in the manufacture of Mineral Wool.
- Steel Industry : Used as a sintering agent in iron ore palletization or as a flux agents in steel making.
- Agriculture : uses serve for pH control. Used as a Soil Conditioner.
- Paints : Used widely in cement paints, exterior paints, primers, putties, powder coatings and industrial finishes.
- Plastic : Used in PVC footwear, PVC pipes, cables and others.
- Paper : Used as integral filler in paper to give smoothness and gloss.
- Adhesives : Used in adhesives and carpet backing.
- Rubber : It is used in toothpaste, cosmetic and soap industry.
- Material Storage : Keep in closed container. Store in cool, dry & ventilated area. Keep away from strong acids. CO2 may be released on contact with strong acids. This material is non-hazardous and non-flammable.
