Description Chromite is a mineral that contains chromium, iron, and oxygen, with varying amounts of magnesium and aluminum, and has a high specific density. Its chemical formula is (Fe,Mg)O*(Cr,Fe,Al)2O3. Particularly chrome ores, out of which foundry grade chromite sand can be made, are only found in the Bushveld Complex in South Africa. Chromite sand is

Chromite Sand is a naturally occurring spinel consisting primarily of the oxides of chrome and iron. It is a by-product of ferro-chrome production and is mainly used in foundry applications and in glass production. It is used as a highly fireproof sharpener for moulds and cores. Originally from South Africa. The sand is produced by

Chromite sand primarily for use as either a molding sand or as a core sand in the production of steel castings. Foundry grade chromite sand is derived from naturally occurring chrome ore deposits. The grains are irregularly shaped, angular and commonly with somewhat curved faces.The color is jet black with a metallic luster. Technical Data
