Description
At PILATO, we produce chromite flour for the industrial market in Spain. Through a company-wide, integrated quality management system, we ensure immediate product availability and an operational approach focused on meeting our customers’ delivery schedules and technical requirements, while integrating seamlessly into their supply chains.

Chromite flour is used in the glass industry as a colourant and for its high stability at elevated temperatures. It is also used in ceramic pigments, where it stands out for its better dispersion, and in foundry work as a moulding sand and core component, because its high refractoriness and low thermal expansion reduce expansion defects in steel castings. It is likewise a raw material for refractory bricks and masses intended for metallurgical furnaces.

We supply chromite flour in bulk, 25 kg bags and big bags.

  • Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About the Chromite Flour

Why use chromite in foundry work rather than silica sand?

Because of its thermal behaviour. Chromite has higher refractoriness and much lower expansion than silica, which avoids the expansion defects that appear when pouring steel at high temperature. It is often used in the areas of the mould subject to the greatest thermal load.

It is a mineral of the spinel group, an iron and chromium oxide in which magnesium and aluminium partially substitute for those elements. That is why its formula is written with substitutions, (Fe,Mg)(Cr,Al)₂O₄: the composition varies within a range depending on the deposit.

Yes. Chromium is a chromophore element and chromite is used as a colourant in glass and in ceramic pigments, with the added advantage of remaining stable at process temperatures where other colourants would degrade.
