GLASS AND CERAMICS
Ceramics and glass are used in many industrial applications to support manufacturing within sectors such as metallurgical, chemical, mechanical, and energy production.
Properties that make these materials desirable in these fields are primarily wear and corrosion resistance, hardness, resistance to chemical attack, thermal and electrical insulation, and high-temperature resistance and compressive strength.
The largest category of products is represented by refractories. By definition, refractories are materials that are capable of withstanding operating conditions of 1,000°C or greater. Although approximately 80% of the refractory market is accounted for by the metallurgical sector (for processing of both ferrous and non-ferrous metals), these products also find application in other industries such as glass, ceramics and cement manufacturing, as well as in power generation.
Manufactured products
CALCINED DOLOMITE
Calcium and magnesium oxide or calcined dolomite are obtained from dolomitic minerals such as calcium carbonate and magnesium CaMg(CO3)2, through the calcination process.

REFRACTORY MATERIALS
A refractory material or refractory is a material that is resistant to decomposition by heat, pressure, or chemical attack, and retains strength and form at high temperatures. Refractories are polycrystalline, polyphase, inorganic, non-metallic, porous, and heterogeneous.
