Chromite Sand

Discover the multifaceted application options of chromite sand in foundry grade from thyssenkrupp Materials Trading. Our high-quality chromite sands are used in various industries – especially wherever high-temperature resistance and stability are required.

Scope of Application

• Foundry engineering: Chromite sand is applied as a moulding sand and core sand for steel and cast parts. Due to its high-temperature resistance and minimum expansion, it enables the production of components with premium surfaces.

• Refractory industry: Our chromite sands are characterized by their high melting point and long lifespan. They are applied in bricks and mortar for blast furnaces and converters, where they withstand extreme conditions.

• Metallurgy: Chromite sand is a key element in metallurgy in the form of foundry sand and ladle sand. As foundry sand, it prevents foundry ladles from becoming plugged and ensures a smooth metal flow. As ladle sand, it reliably seals ladles.

• Glass industry: Chromite sands improve the chemical resistance and colour consistency of glass.
