Product Overview
Dolomite is a natural double carbonate mineral consisting of calcium and magnesium. Raw mineral lumps sourced from regional deposits are pulverized and air-classified to target particle sizes at our manufacturing unit in Pindwara, Rajasthan.
In ceramic and glass manufacturing, dolomite provides a balanced source of both \(CaO\) and \(MgO\), acting as a high-temperature flux while reducing thermal expansion in glazes. In paints, plastics, and dry-mix mortars, it functions as a body filler and functional extender.

Typical Industrial Applications
- Paints & Coatings: Extender pigment that enhances weatherability, scrub resistance, and film build in interior and exterior formulations.
- Ceramics & Glazes: Used in tile bodies and glaze frits as a fluxing agent, reducing firing temperature and controlling glaze thermal expansion. (Learn more)
- Plastics & Polymers: Functional filler improving stiffness and dimensional stability in polymer compounds.
- Construction & Wall Putty: Mineral body in cementitious dry-mix mortars, wall putty, and decorative textures. (Learn more)
- Glass Manufacturing: Source of magnesium and calcium oxides to enhance glass durability and lower devitrification rates.
