Industrial Minerals

Industrial minerals are geological materials which are mined for their commercial value, which are not mineral fuels and are not sources of metallic minerals. They are used in their natural state or after beneficiation either as raw materials or as additives in a wide range of applications. Typical examples of industrial rocks and minerals are limestone, clays, sand, gravel, diatomite, kaolin, bentonite, silica, barite, gypsum, and talc. Applications for industrial minerals are construction, ceramics, paints, electronics, filtration, plastics, glass, detergents and paper.

The evaluation of raw materials to determine their suitability for use as industrial minerals requires technical test-work, mineral processing trials and end-product evaluation; free to download evaluation manuals are available for the following industrial minerals: limestone, flake graphite, diatomite, kaolin, bentonite and construction materials. A mineral is a naturally occuring, inorganic solid with a defined chemical composition and a crystalline structure. A rock is an aggregate of one or more minerals. Commercially valuable minerals and rocks are referred to as industrial minerals. We are exporter of industrial minerals from India.
