TYPICAL RCF Physical Properties
Grading: 200 mesh on BSS
Colour: Off White
Packaging: 25kg or 50kg Polypropylene bags
Application
Agriculture: Rayon fertilisers
Construction: Oxysulphate cement, Insulation industries, pulp and paper
Low Grade: Environmental FGD Water/Effluent Treatment Pulp & Paper abrasive, Wheel Binder, Cosmetic Thickener, Metallurgical Flux and Magnesium Chemicals.
High Grade: Dead Burned Magnesia is used in the manufacturing of refectory bricks for use in the steel and copper industries since magnesia base enables it to resist basic slags at high temperatures.
