Chemical and metallurgical

Powders for use in chemical and metallurgical process

Iron powder can be used in several chemical and metallurgical processes from the production of aluminium foil to magnetic paints. Our products also play a role in the recycling of industrial chemicals and are utilised in steel plants and the pharmaceutical industry.

For some applications there is more or less no alternative to iron powder. These applications often have requirements for specific properties and stringent demands for consistency. In other applications the high surface area and/or purity of iron powder can offer more cost-effective solutions compared to alternative methods. Cost savings can be generated as lower direct costs or on a system level i.e. from increased productivity.

Application examples

High purity melting stock
Alloying element to increase the strength of aluminium
Magnetic additive in paint
Manufacture of ferric/ferrous chloride used in water purification
Our powders can also be used as additions to polymers to make injection moulded or extruded components magnetic as well as to increases weight, heat conductivity or sound-absorbing qualities.

Features and benefits

Optimisation of powders for the specific purpose of the applications
High surface area and/or high purity

Most cost-effective solution thanks to factors such as higher reactivity and less waste
