We have, through organic growth and acquisitions, grown from a one mineral company to a multi-mineral company, supplying raw materials into diverse markets, from agriculture, to industrial coatings and construction.
Molybdenum’s ability to withstand extreme temperatures without significant thermal expansion or softening makes it useful in intense heat applications.
Fused Alumina is made in an electric arc furnace by passing a current between vertical carbon electrodes. The heat generated from this procedure melts the alumina feedstock.
LKAB Minerals offer a range of fine-ground Aluminium Trihydrate (ATH) products from European manufacturing locations.
Andalusite is an alumino-silicate mineral occurring in metamorphic rocks as elongated rhombic prisms, sometimes of gem quality.
Andricite® is a stable, finely ground synthetic anhydrous calcium sulphate used in a wide range of construction applications.
Bentonite is used in a wide range of applications within the foundry industry as a binder, as the mineral can withstand high temperatures.
The Calcifert range offers granulated products to the agricultural industry. Calcifert provides essential nutrients to grassland and crops in a format farmers apply using conventional fertiliser spreading equipment.
Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) offers great durability, reducing the likelihood of concrete thermal cracking, and it improves concrete’s resistance to damage from alkali-silica reaction, sulphates and chlorides.
DekorFlake is a range of natural Mica flakes designed to impart a decorative metallic or natural sparkle effect for decorative concrete.
Advanced bed materials designed for energy generation efficiency and operational challenges.
FireCarb is an expandable intumescent graphite fire retardant additive that can expand when heated.
UltraCarb products are hydromagnesite – huntite fire retardants, for a wide range of polymers and rubbers.
Gypsol is a general-purpose, free-flowing, self-compacting anhydrite screed binder.
LKAB Minerals offer UK-manufactured Chalk from a local, high-quality soft white chalk deposit that has been quarried for more than sixty years.
Used as an anti-stripping additive and mineral filler, our limestone is found in asphalt to improve quality cost-effectively.
MagnaChem is a product of very pure and natural fine magnetite used for the water treatment industry
MagnaDense is a natural Magnetite used for loose ballast and high density concrete.
Manufactured Magnesium, providing pharmaceutical grades and technical grade Magnesium for many industries worldwide.
Magnetite is a very pure and milled material, that can be used in various industries.
MagniF, produced from the natural iron oxide Magnetite, is used as a functional filler in polymers and coatings.
Fordacal marble is made from off-cuts from Northern Italy, perfect for applications when whiteness is of paramount importance.
MicaFort, Muscovite and Phlogopite Micas are mineral fillers for a large variety of applications in the polymers and coatings industries.
MinSand is a perfectly spherical refractory bead produced by fusing and supercooling Bauxite in an electric arc furnace.
Mulcoa is a high mullite chamotte produced by calcining low alkali clays for consistent quality and chemistry.
Olivine is a naturally occurring mineral magnesium iron silicate sourced from Norway with a high melting point and density.
Refractory bauxite is calcined at 1600 – 1650°C, producing a dense, high-purity and stable aggregate.
Magnesite ore is mined and classified, then purified and calcined to provide the raw material for refractory-grade magnesite products.
Natural chrome ore is used as form sand in foundry applications.
LKAB Minerals Chrome Alumina is produced during the manufacture of aluminothermic chromium metal.
LKAB Minerals offer fine Magnesitic Talc for various applications such as agricultural and horticultural, polymer processing, coating applications and the ceramics industry.
Tantalum is one of the most inert, unreactive metals known. It confers a high capacitance in a small volume.
It has the highest tensile strength and the lowest thermal expansion of all metals.
Zirconium silicate (naturally occurring beach sand) has a high thermal expansion coefficient.
Modern life would be impossible without minerals. Minerals are used in the production of everything from paint to cosmetics, water treatment chemicals to sound proofing foams and polymers, high-density concrete and the growth in green technology.
