Refractory Grade Bauxite Sand

▸ High-purity calcined bauxite sand with consistent 1-3mm particle size for reliable refractory and foundry performance.

★ Al₂O₃ 75-90%     ★ Refractoriness 1770℃+

★ Low Impurities     ★ Stable Grain Shape

What Is Refractory Grade Bauxite Sand?

▸ Refractory grade bauxite sand is a premium calcined aggregate produced by sintering selected raw bauxite at temperatures above 1600°C, followed by crushing and screening to a controlled particle size. The 1-3mm fraction offers a balanced grain size that ensures excellent packing density, good flow properties, and high thermal stability. It is widely used as a key component in refractory castables, gunning mixes, ladle linings, and foundry sand systems where resistance to extreme temperatures and mechanical stress is required.

Why SEPPE Calcination Matters for Bauxite Sand

Our fully calcined bauxite sand delivers consistent performance in demanding refractory applications:

  • Uniform Particle Size — 1-3mm sizing ensures consistent packing and flow characteristics in refractory mixes.

  • High Bulk Density — dense grains reduce porosity and improve wear resistance in castables and linings.

  • Excellent Refractoriness — withstands service temperatures up to 1770°C without degradation.

  • Low Impurity Content — minimal iron and alkali prevents fluxing reactions in high-temperature service.

Quality Control & Laboratory Testing

▸ XRF Chemical Analysis — every batch tested for Al₂O₃, Fe₂O₃, TiO₂, CaO, MgO content


▸ Bulk Density Measurement — verified to ensure consistent grain density


▸ Particle Size Distribution — sieve analysis to guarantee 1-3mm specification


▸ Magnetic Separation Inspection — removal of iron contamination


▸ Batch Traceability — full documentation from raw ore source to shipping container
