Olivine is also widely used as backing material between wall and coating layers of tundishes. Olivine protects the walls of tundishes on account of its high melting point (1760-1800 C). In between the Chalmette bricks and magnetite plates olivine serves your Tundishtappings in a perfect way and provides 12-14 tappings (application life of magnetite).

Olivine helps you to protect the outer liner of tundishes and decreases the maintenance and repair expenses to the minimum.Also, Olivine helps the users to save from time and labour by the help of its water holding level under %2 present

Olivine casting sand with its sintering point 1450 Co(2642 Fo) and melting point over 1760 Co(3200 Fo) performs excellent for the ferrous castings (grey cast iron, nodular cast iron, malleable cast iron) and performs very well for thenonferrous castings. Especially for the Manganese (MN) castings where the surface smoothness is important Olivine is the absolute solution.

• Because of its alkaline characteristic, it performs excellent, especially for manganese castings.
• As olivine doesnt react with steel, provides smoother surfaces.
• The re-usage rate is higher than silica sand.
• Environment-friendly.
• Because of its silica content is combined, it doesnt cause silicosis.
• Resistant to thermal shocks.
• Low thermal expansion.
• More economical in compassion to Zircon and Chromite Sand.
