Calcined Bauxite · Grades and Sizes to Suit Your Application
The linked TDS covers rotary-kiln material. Request the corresponding technical data for your selected grade and production route.
Calcined bauxite is made by heating selected bauxite ore to develop a hard, dense ceramic structure. The calcined material is then crushed, screened or milled into aggregate and fine fractions.
The product family includes grades for refractory formulations and selected grades for anti-slip surfacing. Alumina content ranges from 75–90%, depending on the grade; the material should be selected by its full specification, not alumina content alone.
Choose the alumina and impurity profile needed for your refractory formulation or anti-slip aggregate specification.
Ordered fractions support aggregate packing, fine-particle formulation or the required surface texture.
Rotary-kiln and shaft-kiln supply options are available. The appropriate route depends on the material and ordered grade.
Select the application first, then confirm the chemical profile, physical properties and particle-size distribution.
Al₂O₃: 75–90%, depending on grade. Common grade designations include 75, 80, 85, 87 and 88. Specify the corresponding oxide limits and grain properties for the formulation.
The designated SEPPE road-surfacing grade is specified at Al₂O₃ ≥80% (typically 82–85%), PSV ≥70 and 1–3 mm. These values apply to that grade, not the entire calcined bauxite range.
Common aggregate fractions include 0–1 mm, 1–3 mm, 3–5 mm and 5–8 mm. Fine powders and other fractions can be specified to suit the recipe.
1–3 mm is the main size for the dedicated road-surfacing product. A 3–5 mm option can be discussed where the binder system and project specification permit it.
Grade designations are selection references. Confirm the actual specification and sieve distribution for the material being ordered.
From shaped bricks and cast-in-place refractories to high-temperature linings and anti-slip surfaces, each application calls for a matching material grade and particle size.

01 / SHAPED REFRACTORIES
Graded grains and fines for high-alumina bricks and other shaped refractory products.

02 / MONOLITHIC REFRACTORIES
Aggregate and fines for dense castables, precast shapes, repair mixes and other monolithic refractory formulations.

03 / STEEL & HIGH-TEMPERATURE LININGS
High-alumina ingredients for selected furnace and ladle lining formulations. The material grade follows the lining design and service conditions.

04 / ANTI-SLIP SURFACING
Hard, angular aggregate for roads, pedestrian areas and industrial anti-slip floors. Select the grade and size to suit the binder system.
Application images are illustrative. Suitability depends on the complete refractory formulation or surfacing system.
The following reference profile summarises the product-family data. It is not a single specification shared by all grades; use the technical data for the selected material to define purchase requirements.
| Alumina (Al₂O₃) | 75–90% — depending on grade |
|---|---|
| Silica (SiO₂) | 6–18% |
| Iron oxide (Fe₂O₃) | 0.5–2.5% |
| Titanium dioxide (TiO₂) | 2–3% |
| Calcium oxide (CaO) | 0–0.4% |
| Magnesium oxide (MgO) | 0–0.2% |
| K₂O + Na₂O | 0–0.4% |
| Bulk Density | 2.80–3.25 g/cm³ — reference |
|---|---|
| Loss on ignition | 0.1–0.5% |
| Moisture content | 0.1–0.3% |
| Grain shape | Angular |
| Hardness | 7.5–9.0 Mohs — grade-dependent |
| Refractoriness | Specify by refractory grade |
| PSV / abrasion properties | Specify by anti-slip grade |
Ranges describe different material grades and should not be combined into one assumed composition. For the selected anti-slip grade, use its dedicated data rather than applying every family reference range.
Density must be compared using the same measurement basis. Refractoriness is a material-test property, not a universal operating-temperature rating for a finished lining.
SEPPE supplies calcined bauxite produced through rotary-kiln and shaft-kiln routes. Selected ore is calcined, then crushed, screened and, where required, milled into the ordered fractions.

Feedstock selected for the target calcined grade.

Facilities for material processing and supply.


The two kiln types are alternative calcination routes, not consecutive production stages or fixed labels for the two application groups. Final suitability follows the grade specification.
Supply options include 50 kg bags and jumbo bags in agreed formats. Packing weight, labelling and shipment arrangements are confirmed with the order.




Container loading depends on the bag format, shipping route and transport limits. Custom marking and other packing requirements can be discussed before dispatch.
The main applications are refractory formulations and anti-slip surfacing. The required chemistry, grain properties and sizes differ between applications.
The product-family range is Al₂O₃ 75–90%, depending on grade. Confirm the minimum alumina content and accompanying oxide limits for the specific material; there is no single 85% minimum across the whole range.
Yes. Both production routes are included in the supply range. Select the grade by its specification and intended use rather than kiln name alone.
No. Choose an anti-slip grade with the required polishing resistance, abrasion properties and grading. A refractory-grade designation alone does not establish road-surfacing performance.
Common aggregate fractions include 0–1 mm, 1–3 mm, 3–5 mm and 5–8 mm, with fines and other sizes by agreement. The dedicated anti-slip road grade focuses on 1–3 mm.
Yes. Provide your application, required grade, size and quantity so the corresponding sample, technical data and available quality documents can be discussed.
Tell us your application, alumina requirement, particle size, quantity and destination. We can discuss the matching grade, production route and packing options.
ROTARY & SHAFT KILNS / GRADE-SPECIFIC INSPECTION
SEPPE’s quality-control workflow covers both rotary-kiln and shaft-kiln calcined bauxite, from feedstock selection to dispatch. Inspection requirements follow the ordered grade and application.
The product family spans Al₂O₃ 75–90%, depending on grade. Chemical and physical acceptance limits are agreed for the selected material; no single alumina minimum, density value or absorption limit is applied to every product.
Review source identification and ore chemistry against the intended calcined grade. Raw-ore composition is kept separate from the finished-product specification.
Select suitable feedstock lots and blend where required by the production plan to manage chemical variation.
Monitor feed and firing conditions for the selected kiln route. Operating settings follow the ore characteristics and target grade, rather than one fixed temperature for every product.
Crush and screen the material into the ordered fractions. Use separation and inspection to manage removable metallic contamination; mill fines where required.
Review alumina and relevant oxides against the selected grade and order limits. The family range of Al₂O₃ 75–90% is not used as a single batch acceptance specification.
Review grading and the relevant density, moisture and other physical results. Include refractory or anti-slip performance evidence according to the ordered grade and agreed inspection plan.
Check material identity, available inspection records, quantity, labels and packing against the order before dispatch. Keep the supplied lot linked to the relevant production and release records.
Chemical composition, particle-size distribution and relevant physical properties are reviewed with the sample identity, test method and agreed limits. Testing is selected to suit the material and its application.
Routine inspection records and periodic performance reports serve different purposes. Where independent testing is required, agree the laboratory, specimen preparation and reporting requirements before supply.

SEPPE Factory & Laboratory Facilities
Review the agreed oxide composition, grain-density basis, particle-size distribution and relevant moisture, absorption or refractoriness requirements. Finished bricks, castables and linings need evaluation of their own formulations.
Review the required grading, PSV and abrasion evidence, with moisture and other properties where specified. Record the fraction tested and its relationship to the supplied aggregate; finished surfacing is assessed as a complete system.
Product values belong in the grade specification. This quality-control section describes the checks without creating a second, conflicting set of numerical limits.

The referenced methods do not set one universal alumina, density or PSV limit for the entire product family. Do not assume that all listed tests are performed in-house or repeated on every shipment.
Keep grade, sample preparation, test fraction, measurement method and units consistent when comparing supplier and receiving-laboratory results.
Grain or particle density and loose bulk density are different measurements. Retain the exact report designation and verify the method before comparing figures.
Refractoriness does not by itself set the service temperature of a finished lining. Aggregate PSV does not replace testing or approval of a completed anti-slip surface.
Agree the document package with the order and request records applicable to the selected grade and supplied lot.
Grade-specific technical data, the relevant safety data sheet and the agreed composition, size and packing specification.
Available chemical, sieve and physical results, together with relevant application-specific reports, sample identifiers, test methods and report dates.
Lot identification, packing details, quantity and agreed release records that connect the supplied material to the order.
Current ISO 9001 certification documentation can be requested separately. Verify the certified entity, scope and validity; quality-management certification is not a substitute for the product’s test results.
Tell us whether the material is for refractory or anti-slip use, together with the grade, size and project requirements. We can confirm available documentation and any additional testing to arrange.
