Innovative mineral raw materials for the building materials industry

Talk to our Industry experts

MAGNESIA has been your relia­ble partner for mineral com­pounds and inno­va­ti­ve light­weight fillers for over 40 years.

Sus­taina­bi­li­ty, energy effi­ci­en­cy, fire pro­tec­tion and dura­bi­li­ty are today’s central requi­re­ments for the buil­ding mate­ri­als indus­try. Whether for cement, mortar, plaster, insu­la­ti­on or special appli­ca­ti­ons – the choice of the right raw mate­ri­als deter­mi­nes quality and cost-effectiveness.

We deliver proven quality, tech­ni­cal know-how and tailor-made solu­ti­ons that make your pro­ducts more powerful and opti­mi­ze your pro­duc­tion pro­ces­ses. With our broad port­fo­lio we support you in impro­ving the phy­si­cal pro­per­ties of your buil­ding mate­ri­als, con­trol­ling reac­tion times and inte­gra­ting addi­tio­nal func­tions such as thermal insu­la­ti­on or fire pro­tec­tion.

Applications of our products in the building materials industry

Our pro­ducts are available in various qua­li­ties – tail­o­red to your requi­re­ments for purity, reac­ti­vi­ty and pro­ces­sing. This allows indi­vi­du­al solu­ti­ons for high-per­for­mance buil­ding mate­ri­als to be rea­li­zed that are con­vin­cing both tech­no­lo­gi­cal­ly and ecologically.

  • Opti­miza­ti­on of reac­tion time and curing in cement & mortar mixtures
  • Fire pro­tec­tion & fire resis­tance for high-per­for­mance buil­ding materials
  • Thermal & acou­stic insu­la­ti­on for energy-effi­ci­ent buildings
  • Filler & rein­force­ment to improve mecha­ni­cal properties
  • Pro­ces­sing aids for uniform pro­ces­sing & stability
  • Surface opti­miza­ti­on for high-quality coa­tings & plasters

Holistic solutions for high-performance building materials

The com­bi­na­ti­on of mineral raw mate­ri­als and inno­va­ti­ve light­weight fillers opens up new pos­si­bi­li­ties in product deve­lo­p­ment. While classic com­pounds such as oxides, car­bo­na­tes and hydr­o­xi­des provide sta­bi­li­ty, fire pro­tec­tion and reac­tion control, our MagS­phe­res® series offer addi­tio­nal bene­fits such as weight reduc­tion, impro­ved thermal insu­la­ti­on and opti­mi­zed sur­faces. This creates buil­ding mate­ri­als that meet the highest tech­ni­cal and eco­lo­gi­cal requirements.

                      Mineral compounds are indispensable in building materials

                      Mineral raw mate­ri­als are decisi­ve for the quality and func­tion­a­li­ty of modern buil­ding mate­ri­als. They influence reac­tion time, improve mecha­ni­cal pro­per­ties and provide addi­tio­nal func­tions such as fire pro­tec­tion or thermal insu­la­ti­on.

                      Magne­si­um oxide and magne­si­um hydr­o­xi­de are, for example, important com­pon­ents for refrac­to­ry mate­ri­als and sorel cement, while calcium car­bo­na­te as a filler opti­mi­zes strength and cost-effec­ti­ve­ness. Our MagS­phe­res® series also enable signi­fi­cant weight reduc­tion and improve the thermal pro­per­ties of your products.
