Microdolomite (ground dolomite)

Microdolomite is a natural fine - ground (fine-dispersed)high-purity filler. Due to its excellent properties and relatively low cost (compared to calcium carbonate, microcalcite), microdolomite is an excellent raw material for paint coatings, raw materials for the production of paints, plastics, used in the construction and paper industries.

Chemical formula of microdolomite: 

For one molecule of calcium carbonate in microdolomite, there is one molecule of magnesium carbonate.

CaMg (CO3) 2 is the chemical formula of ground dolomite.

Chemical composition of microdolomite: bicarbonate salt of magnesium and calcium.

Due to the magnesium content, dolomite has a glossy texture, which determines the effectiveness of its use in the production of paint and varnish materials.

Advantages of microdolomite:

  • High strength of microdolomite grains.
  • Incombustibility, obgneupornost, fire safety of microdolomitaa.
  • Low water absorption and porosity of dolomite chips.
  • Low level of chemical activity of molotov dolomite.
  • High level of thermal insulation and sound insulation.
  • Frost resistance of microdolomite.

Applications of microdolomite:

  • Microdolomite is a raw material for paintwork: water-and organo-diluted paints and enamels for special and general construction purposes, decorative and special coatings (for example, marking coatings or materials for applying road markings).
  • Microdolomite is used in the production of plastics and rubber products.
  • In the construction industry: microdolomite is one of the components of dry building mixes, putties, plasters, sealants, adhesives, liquid wallpaper.
  • Microdolomite is used in the manufacture of ceramics.
  • Microdolomite is necessary for the agricultural industry.
  • Applicable in the chemical industry.

Geography of the Dolomite: 

Dolomite is more common than marble. There are deposits in Tatarstan, Bashkortostan, and the Sverdlovsk region. However, many deposits are located close to radiation objects and create an unfavorable radiation background. Therefore, we recommend that you take into account the Radiological Research Protocol when choosing a supplier.

Fractions of molotov dolomite:

  • Microdolomite MD-2
  • Microdolomite MD-5
  • Microdolomite MD-10
  • Microdolomite MD-40 
  • Microdolomite MD-60 
  • Microdolomite MD-100 

Features of microdolomite from micromramor: 

Microdolomite is less white than microcalcite, its whiteness level is about 86%. Therefore, microdolomite is applicable in those areas of industry where the perfect whiteness of the material is not critical.

Microdolomite, unlike microcalcite, is much less soluble in acids. This property can negatively affect the use of microdolomite in the oilfield services sector.
