Dolomite is used for wide range of applications such as:

  • Dolomite is used as a source of magnesium metal and of magnesia (MgO), which is a constituent of refractory bricks. 
  • Dolomite is often used instead of limestone as an aggregate for both cement and bitumen mixes and also as a flux in blast furnaces.
  • The use of dolostone as a flux has increased, especially since environmental contamination has become a widely heeded consideration, because the resulting 
    slag can be employed for such things as lightweight aggregate, whereas that formed when limestone is used cannot. Such is the case because dolostonebased slag does not slake (disintegrate in water), but limestone-based slag does.
  • Keep containers or bag tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.
  • Wear personal protective equipment. Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Avoid dust formation.

Dolomite is available in 25kg, 50kg, Jumbo bags and various bag sizes.
