🔷 What Makes Our Nigerian Zircon Sand Unique?

Nigeria is home to rich alluvial zircon deposits with strong mineral stability and low impurity levels. At Kelechi Minerals, we responsibly source and process these deposits to produce zircon sand that meets international quality standards.

Our zircon sand is valued for:

  • High Zirconium Silicate (ZrSiO₄) content
  • Excellent heat resistance
  • Strong crystal structure
  • Low iron and alkali impurities
  • Uniform particle size distribution

These attributes make Nigerian zircon sand highly suitable for industrial applications where strength, purity, and heat endurance are essential.

🏭 Industrial Applications We Serve

Our zircon sand is trusted globally for use in:

1. Ceramics Manufacturing

Used in tiles, sanitary ware, glazes, and porcelain for its whiteness, opacity, and durability.

2. Foundry & Casting Industry

Zircon’s high thermal stability makes it ideal for molds and cores in precision casting.

3. Refractory Materials

Essential for furnace linings, crucibles, and thermal insulation due to its resistance to heat.

4. Zirconium & Advanced Materials

Used in the production of zirconium chemicals, zirconium metal, and various engineered compounds.

5. Coatings & Abrasives

Applied in specialty coatings, sandblasting grit, and industrial abrasives.

Our customers include manufacturers, foundries, mineral processors, trading companies, and zirconium oxide producers.
