We employ application specialists and bring them together with our mineral and processing experts. Our extensive knowledge of applications has been built over many years of conducting collaborative research and development work with our customers, research institutions, and universities.
We offer several mineral products to the building and construction industries in order to improve and optimise the construction of structures.
Find out more about our products and their use for the construction industryBrake pads can contain up to 20 different ingredients. Our customers use both MicaFort and MagniF to produce this part of the braking systems in cars.
You can use MagnaDense as aggregate mixed into heavy concrete or as loose ballast for bridges in need of extra weight in the suspension, legs, pivot or deck.
Andricite® is a synthetic anhydrous calcium sulphate which our customers use in the production of aerated building blocks. It is both a chemistry agent as well as a cement additive.
You can use high-density MagnaDense aggregate in heavy concrete blocks designed in specific shapes for coastal protection against water and weather influences.
MagnaDense aggregate in concrete weight coating (CWC) for pipelines increases negative buoyancy and gives mechanical protection against sea motions.
LKAB Minerals manufactures high density and heavy MagnaDense, produced from the natural iron ore Magnetite, for the production of concrete counterweights.
MagnaDense is a high density aggregate, used as heavy weight ballast in many applications; either as a loose ballast aggregate or incorporated into concrete.
Replacing fine and coarse aggregates in concrete with LKAB Minerals natural aggregate MagnaDense allows you to produce heavy weight concrete with a high density of up to 4.0 t/m3.
Calcined Bauxite, an optimum aggregate for anti-skid applications, creates a high level of skid resistance for use in High Friction Surfacing (HFS).
FireCarb is used as an active agent to passively protect against fire.
Including GGBS in a concrete mix helps to protect from sources of damage and significantly improves the durability of concrete.
For the extensive project in The Netherlands, the Blankenburgverbinding, LKAB Minerals supplied temporary MagnaDense for a tunnel construction.
Walls, ceilings and floors containing MagnaDense radiation shielding concrete protect against ionizing radiation due to the high density.
When the last supply of MagnaDense took place in April 2020, about 6,000m3 of high density MagnaDense concrete is used for building the ITER research facility in Southern France.
Ever since the 1960’s the industry uses MagnaDense high density concrete for radiation protection in hospitals and oncology clinics all over the world.
Our customers use high-density MagnaDense concrete as a radiation shielding to protect against the hazard of nuclear radiation leakage.
Our customers use industrial minerals to improve constructions, increase safety and reduce costs.
Using Gypsol anhydrite binder creates a pumpable, self-smoothing floor screed. Moreover, this screed is an economically advantageous and a sustainable alternative to the labour-intensive and traditional sand cement screeds.
ATH and DekorFlake are both natural minerals used as key ingredients in composite materials used as solid surfacing.
MicaFort is a widely used additive in the formulation to produce fireproof sprayable cement, for steel protection.
When building underground concrete structures such as tunnels, garages, sluices and more, you can use MagnaDense concrete for controlling buoyancy and overcoming issues with sound, vibration and hydraulic pressure.
MicaFort, a high aspect ratio mineral filler, improves appearance and stability of drywall-, plaster- and fire resistant wallboards and joint cement.
Here you can find applications and customer cases based on your role. We've labeled all our knowledge by the aspect of different roles such as Designers, Architects, Engineers or the End user. Who are you?
