Chrome Ore

In addition to ferrochrome production, chromium ore, also known as chromite, is also used in the refractory and metallurgical industries. Its resistance to fire of up to 1900 °C, good gas permeability and low thermal expansion combined with good thermal conductivity make this raw material an effective barrier to molten metal compared to other moulding sands.

Furthermore, in contrast to the alternative quartz sand, there is no risk of developing silicosis when using the raw material chrome ore sand. Chrome ore sand is obtained from chromite (chrome iron ore), which is processed into chromite sand with the aid of liquid binders after extraction from natural deposits.
