Slagomite is used as a raw material in all types of soda-lime silica glasses. As a melting and refining aid, it reduces furnace energy consumption, reduces NOx and CO2 emissions, and improves final glass quality.
Slagomite has traditionally been viewed as an alumina source, but it is a valuable source of all the major glassmaking oxides. The particle size distribution ensures it is compatible with other glassmaking raw materials in the batch.
Many of the benefits of using Slagomite, including improved melting efficiency, reduced process CO2 emissions, and improved color stabilization are always achieved when Slagomite is used. Other benefits can be maximized depending on the specific priorities of the glassmaker at the time, for example reducing energy consumption or improving glass quality.
Slagomite increases the melting rate of the batch, thereby allowing furnace temperatures or energy consumption to be reduced without affecting glass quality.
Slagomite is particularly valuable in the production of amber glass, or glass with an amber component to its color, such as dead leaf green or UVA green.
Slagomite reduces seeds in the glass by over 50% on average. It also reduces the tendency for blister and batch stones that are often rejected by inspection equipment.
Slagomite is currently being exported to Italy, Germany, Belgium, the Netherland, and other European countries for potential inquiries from Mauritius, Sudan, South Africa, and more.
