THE PRODUCT
Raw Material
The raw material is the pyrometallurgical non-metallic slag that is produced during the melting of the laterite ore in electrical furnaces of local factory. It is chemically characterized as an iron silicate compound that contains small quantities of aluminum, calcium and magnesium.
The produced slag after growing cold with the help of cold water, it is granulated and led to final placement. The granulated raw material consisting mostly of iron silicates is transported and further processed in the company's facilities (cleansing-Washing - Drying- fractionalizing).
Grit Material
The product according to EN ISO 11126-5: “Preparation of steel substrates before application of paints and related products -Specifications for non metallic blast cleaning abrasives-Part 5 Nickel refinery slag”, characterised as follow
Blast clean abrasives ISO 11126 N/Nl/G 0,2-2,8

The Larammos abrasives grit is an especially granular product with sharp edges, and its grains are of irregular shape and increased hardness and specific weight.
The above mentioned characteristics give the product excellent cutting and cleaning characteristics on surfaces (metallic and not) during blasting.
In that way, the cleaning effect that is succeeded places the material as product of model use.
The product as abrasives grit cleansing material, is environmental friendly and does not harm humans’ health. It is safe for omissions, due to the fact that no heavy metals or other substances harmful for human health derive from it.
The ecological compliance of the product is certified from LGA QualiTest GmbH - Germany
