The Premium Supplier of

SPECIALITY GRADE CHROME ORES AND RELATED PRODUCTS FOR STEEL FOUNDRIES

Exclusive sands locally

Our sands are produced exclusively from screened, uncrushed fines from pure Lower Group (LG) chrome reefs, giving us the best chemical and physical properties for casting sands. Our uncrushed crystals allow for much better performance in nozzle and well filler sands. We sell dried and bagged foundry and refractory sands packed in containers, or loose bulk in containers.

For larger order of foundry sands, we can supply in bulk vessels.
