High-Grade Ilmenite from Nigeria for Global Titanium Industries
At Kelechi Minerals Nigeria Limited, we proudly offer high-quality Nigerian ilmenite sourced from rich mineral deposits across Nigeria. Our ilmenite sand and titanium ore are known for their strong TiO₂ content, stable mineral structure, and suitability for use in pigment production, welding rod manufacturing, steel hardening, aerospace materials, and advanced metallurgical processes.
We don’t just supply minerals—we deliver confidence, reliability, and a professional export experience that global buyers can count on.
🔶 Why Nigerian Ilmenite?
Nigeria’s ilmenite deposits remain among the most promising in Africa. The mineral is valued for its:
- High titanium dioxide (TiO₂) concentration
- Strong magnetic properties
- Low levels of deleterious impurities
- Excellent suitability for beneficiation and upgrading
- Versatility across several industrial applications
These qualities make Nigerian ilmenite an attractive raw material for titanium-based manufacturing and for industries requiring stable mineral performance under heat and pressure.
🏭 Industries That Rely on Our Ilmenite
Our ilmenite is widely used in:
1. Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) Pigment Production
Essential for white paints, coatings, plastics, and paper due to its brightness and opacity.
2. Welding Electrode Manufacturing
Ilmenite serves as a key ingredient in flux coatings for welding rods.
3. Metallurgical Applications
Used as a source of titanium to strengthen metal alloys, particularly in aerospace and chemical industries.
4. Foundry and Refractory Use
Valued for its high-temperature stability in molds, furnace linings, and industrial refractories.
5. Steel Industry
Used to improve strength, heat resistance, and corrosion resistance in specialty steels.
Our ilmenite supports industries across Asia, Europe, North America, and the Middle East.
