Continuing the value chain that begins with calcium and magnesium carbonates taken from our mines, the products obtained after calcination, hydration, sintering and recarbonation are employed in several sectors.
- Calcium and magnesium carbonates: used in the glass and ceramics industry, as well as in the production of cast iron.
- Calcium and magnesium oxides and hydroxides: multitude of industrial applications in sectors such as the steel, mining, paper and chemical industry, among others.
- Sintered dolomite: the combination of a high purity dolomite and a demanding sintering process create refractory properties making it into a useful raw material in the production of shaped and unshaped refractories.
- Refractories: as a finished product in the form of bricks or stemming plains which are mainly used in the steel industry.
- Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC): obtained after a series of sintering steps. This PCC is used as a mineral load and rheological modifier in a great number of industrial applications: production of paper, paint, automotive industry, inks, plastics, etc.
Calcinor is present in a large variety of industrial sectors and processes where our products perform a role in purification, decontamination, as refractory agents and property activators.
RUBBERS
These days the production of synthetic rubber exceeds that of natural rubber.
PLASTICS
Calcinor offers a range of products specifically adapted for this sector.
PAPER INDUSTRY
Regeneration of reactants with quick-lime, improving mechanical paper properties through the addition of PCC.
PAINT
A dual role: combines an aesthetic finish and acts provides protection on the surface that it is applied to.
MINING INDUSTRY
The separation and concentration of metal content in ore, is a complex process.
METALLURGY
Depending on the technique used to extract minerals, the products have to perform different functions.
IRON AND STEEL INDUSTRY
Committed to innovating the most efficient use of products in the iron and steel sector.
GLASS AND CERAMICS
Calcium based products are some of the major components in glass and ceramic formulations.
CHEMICAL INDUSTRY
