Sillimanite Manufacturers & Suppliers in India

Sillimanite, chemically known as Aluminum Silicate (Al₂SiO₅) and belonging to the kyanite-andalusite mineral group, is a naturally occurring, pale yellow, brown, or greyish crystalline mineral widely used as a core raw material across industrial, ceramic, refractory, glassmaking, and foundry applications. Produced through the controlled mining, washing, magnetic separation, and screening of heavy beach sand minerals and metamorphic rocks, it yields a high-purity, thermally stable material that transforms into a highly stable mullite-glass phase when fired at high temperatures.

Due to its exceptional thermal stability and versatility, Sillimanite is vital for heavy industries, high-alumina refractory brick production, glass melting furnace linings, burner blocks, and iron and steel foundries. Industrial mineral processors and refractory raw material suppliers in India provide high-grade Sillimanite sand and flour that ensure consistent quality, reliable sourcing, and industrial compliance for professional use.

Sillimanite Refractory Aggregate Specifications

Known for its high thermal stability and resistance to thermal shock, our natural Sillimanite features an Al₂O₃ content of 57% to 60% with exceptionally low iron impurities strictly restricted to 0.50% Fe₂O₃ max. It offers low reversible thermal expansion, high creep resistance under load, and excellent resistance to glass melt and slag corrosion. Graded into standard mesh sizes and aggregates with optimized bulk density and low apparent porosity, it is an indispensable raw material for glass melting furnace feeder channels, refractory bricks, low-cement castables, kiln furniture, and high-temperature burner blocks.
