Applications

Depending on your specific application, you will find that our natural mineral can bring you different advantages, such as:

• Increased weight and/or density

• Reduced volumes

• High radiation shielding characteristics

• Reduced heat of hydration

• Space-saving

• Noise and vibration dampening

• Thermal energy storage

• High submerged/saturated density

The number of applications that can use Iron Ore is still developing. However, in over 49 years, we have supplied our customers with our special magnetite and haemetite grades in a variety of projects. As a result, we group the applications in:

• Anchoring

• Bridges

• Coastal & erosion protection

• Counterweights

• Fishing weights

• Hospital radiation rooms/bunkers

• Nuclear waste containers

• Offshore platforms

• Pipelines (concrete weight coating)

• Research & laboratory radiation shielding

• Tunnels

• Underground parking garages

• Wind turbine foundations

Bridges, elevators, and other counterweight applications

When more weight is needed but volume is restricted due to the product’s design where the balancing weight is located, this is the best solution.

We have experience in supplying our dense aggregates for:

• Bridge counterweights

• Sluices / Locks counterweights

• Washing machine counterweight

• Elevator counterweight

• Excavator counterweight

• Crane counterweight

• Forklift truck counterweight

• Agricultural machinery counterweights

• Tractor counterweights

• Earthmoving equipment counterweights
