Magnesite | High-Temperature Applications

Magnesite ore is mined and classified, then purified and calcined to provide the raw material for refractory-grade magnesite products.

Dead Burnt Magnesite has high purity and is stable

Including Dead Burnt Magnesite

Nedmag 99 is a high purity synthetic Dead Burned Magnesia having Magnesia content of 99% min

Product information

LKAB Minerals offer a range of Magnesites, including Dead Burnt Magnesite, SKLS Magnesite, and Nedmag Magnesia, for a number of refractory applications.

Magnesite is a natural ore identified as magnesium carbonate, occurring as a primary mineral in igneous and sedimentary rocks, with a number of refractory applications.

Dead Burnt Magnesite is made by calcining the magnesite ore in a rotary kiln to produce a high-purity product with high purity, stability, and good sintering properties.

SKLS Magnesite, also known as Periclase, is made using a calcination and seawater process.

Nedmag 99 is a high-purity synthetic Dead Burned Magnesia produced by Nedmag Industries. It has a magnesia content of 99% min.
