Micro Silica Powder is known to be a very effective pozzolanic because of its extreme fineness. Silica is added to Portland cement concrete to improve its properties, in particular its compressive strength, bond strength, and abrasion resistance. These improvements stem from both the mechanical improvements resulting from addition of a very fine Micro Silica Powder to the cement paste mix as well as from the pozzolanic reactions between the silica fume and free calcium hydroxide in the paste. Today, we are counted amongst the well-known Micro Silica Powder Exporters in India. We have the capability to meet both bulk and small scale orders for Micro Silica Powder. Moreover, we offer Micro Silica Powder at the affordable prices. Advantages Of Micro Silica PowderAddition of Micro Silica Powder also reduces the permeability of concrete to chloride ions, which protects the reinforcing steel of concrete from corrosion, especially in chloride-rich environments such as coastal regions and those of humid continental roadways and runways (because of the use of deicing salts) and saltwater bridges.

We offer Ball Clay Lumps known for their high dry strength and viscosity & whiteness. Ball Clay Lumps are sedimentary in origin and are widely used in ceramic, sanitary ware, wall and floor tiles applications. Being a well-established Exporter for Ball Clay Lumps, we have gained trust of the international clients. Further, Ball Clay Lumps are priced reasonably following the competitive pricing policies.

We offer Dolomite Lumps chosen for many construction and building product applications due to their increased hardness and density. Asphalt and concrete applications prefer Dolomite as filler for its higher strength and hardness. Dolomite Lumps after processing are also used as a source of magnesium such as glass and ceramics manufacture, as well as a sintering agent in iron ore Palletization and as a flux agent in steel making. Farmers use Dolomite for agricultural pH control. The chemical industry uses the mineral Dolomite in making magnesium salts including magnesia, magnesium oxide (MgO), which is used in pharmaceuticals. Owing to the high demand for Dolomite Lumps, we are catering to the bulk sized international orders for the reputed industries.

Made up of the finest grade material and cutting-edge technology, our products have seamless quality. Over the years, we have become a primary choice of the buyers sine our product is qualitative and deliveries are time bound.

Gypsum (CaSO₄.₂H₂O) is a naturally occurring mineral mined from deposits formed by ancient sea beds as a raw material, white when pure, but commonly grey, yellow, red or brown, owing to impurities. The anhydrous form (CaSO₄), anhydrite, is common. We are enlisted amongst the topmost Iranian Gypsum Importers and Exporters from India. ApplicationsGypsum has many industrial applications in its raw or Calcined forms, especially in the building and construction industries. Uses of Raw Gypsum are principally as:

• a retarder for Portland cement
• a fertilizer or soil conditioner
• mineral filler
• oxidizing agent in glass manufacture or other industrial applications.

Most gypsum is calcined and used in the manufacturing of plaster products. Wallboard and plaster requires gypsum contents greater than 85%, although producers prefer a minimum of 9495% along with whiteness in color. The major consumers of the Gypsum at present are Cement Industry. By weight about 4% to 6% Gypsum in crushed condition is utilized in Portland Cement Manufacture after mixing with cement/clinker. Gypsum acts as a retarder and controls the setting time of cement. Imported Gypsum from IranIranian Gypsum is one of the most superior qualities and consistent material available for Import and Export. Iranian Gypsum has adequate whiteness, high purity as well as it is low in cost which makes it absolutely feasible for white cements as well as Plaster Of Paris manufacturing and for the Cement Industry all together. One more important quality that distinguishes Iranian Gypsum from others is its hardness which is less as compared to other sources and allows different industries to easily grind the same for processing into final product which in turn results in to reduced power consumption for manufacturing industries. Indian Cement producers particularly located in Central, Eastern and Southern India are dependent on the import of high quality Natural Gypsum, mainly from Thailand and Sultanate of Oman. But Thailand government is taking steps to increase the selling price of gypsum before stopping exports which should push its gypsum price up to a level near the estimated future import price of 33 US$ per ton from the current FOB price of around 16.50 US$ per ton. Substantial price increases may go against the agreements made by the World Trade Organization (WTO), of which Thailand is a member, and in this case the Thai government would have only one option: to stop gypsum exports at the earliest opportunity to take care of the countrys long-term local consumption needs. FOB Prices of Gypsum from Sultanate of Oman have also considerably increased to USD 16-17 PMT in the recent period which is very high as compared that of Iran. Considering the above situation, Iran is one of the hot spots for importing quality Iranian Gypsum particularly for cement plants in western India. Artha Mineral Resources is one of the very few Traders who have the ability to source Iranian Gypsum directly from the mine owners in Iran avoiding any kind of intermediary margins making it a very economical purchase for its buyer.
