Magnesia
Dead Burned Magnesia
Dead burned magnesia is produced by sintering magnesite at high temperature to yield a dense, stable periclase structure. Its high refractoriness and strong resistance to basic slags make it the backbone raw material for basic refractories in steelmaking and cement kilns.
