Calcium-magnesium carbonate for industrial processing
Dolomite Matched to Chemistry, Size and Process Requirements
Egyptian dolomite supplied in selected lump, granular and powder forms for glass, iron and steel, construction materials, ceramics, agricultural inputs and industrial compounds. Biliton reviews the CaO-MgO basis, silica, iron, loss on ignition, particle size, moisture, packing and destination requirements before proposing a commercial option.

A calcium-magnesium mineral selected around the actual process.
Dolomite is a double carbonate of calcium and magnesium, commonly represented as CaMg(CO₃)₂. Industrial acceptance is application-specific: the CaO-MgO balance, silica, iron, alumina, loss on ignition, moisture and particle-size distribution can influence melting, fluxing, firing, blending and handling behaviour.
Biliton Trading Egypt helps buyers compare the intended use, current grade and target parameters before confirming the closest available form, documents, packing and shipment basis. Raw dolomite, calcined dolomite and dead-burned material are not interchangeable; state the required processing condition in the enquiry.

WHY INPUT PARAMETERS MATTER
Four areas industrial dolomite buyers commonly compare.
Natural dolomite can vary by deposit and processing. Biliton reviews the buyer’s target values rather than presenting one generic grade for every application.
Silica, iron & alumina
Impurity limits may affect colour, melting, slag chemistry, firing behaviour and finished-product acceptance.
Loss on ignition
LOI and carbonate consistency help buyers compare mineral basis and calculate process or formulation inputs.
Form, size & moisture
Lumps, granules and powder require different sieve, moisture, storage, feeding and packing priorities.
GRADE SELECTION
What we confirm before recommending an option.
Send a current TDS, COA, chemical analysis, sieve specification, sample reference or approved product when available. Final supply parameters are stated in the proposed grade documentation and commercial offer.
Application & process route
Confirm glass, steel flux, construction, ceramics, agriculture, filler or another process—and whether raw or calcined material is specified.
CaO / MgO or carbonate basis
Share the required calcium-magnesium balance, carbonate analysis or current approved grade and test method.
Silica, iron & impurity limits
SiO₂, Fe₂O₃, Al₂O₃ and other limits can be critical in glass, ceramics, metallurgy and colour-sensitive systems.
Particle-size distribution
Lumps, screened granules and powder should be stated by top size, sieve range, mesh, micron or reference sample.
LOI, moisture & physical priorities
Loss on ignition, moisture, brightness, bulk handling and source consistency are reviewed where relevant to the process.
Commercial basis
Quantity, 25 kg or 50 kg bags, jumbo bags, bulk format, destination, Incoterm and required documents are confirmed before offer.
INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
Where selected dolomite grades may be considered.
Each use requires confirmation by the buyer’s process, formulation, agronomy or quality team. Biliton supplies against an agreed commercial specification rather than a generic performance claim.
Glass Manufacturing
Dolomite grades reviewed as a calcium-magnesium carbonate input against the glassmaker’s MgO, CaO, silica, iron and sizing limits.
Discuss application →Iron & Steel Flux
Selected lump and granular options considered for approved flux programmes according to chemistry, size, handling and furnace requirements.
Discuss application →Construction Materials
Crushed, granular or powder grades reviewed for compatible aggregates, dry mixes, blocks and other building-material systems.
Discuss application →Ceramics & Frits
Fine grades considered as a calcium and magnesium source in approved ceramic-body, glaze and frit formulations.
Discuss application →Agricultural & Soil Inputs
Selected dolomitic material considered for agronomist-designed soil and agricultural-input programmes requiring calcium and magnesium.
Discuss application →Mineral Fillers & Compounds
Powder options reviewed for compatible industrial filler, compound and chemical-processing systems.

25 kg and 50 kg BILITON dolomite bags.
Commercial packing can include BILITON branded PE-lined 25 kg and 50 kg bags, palletised bags, jumbo bags or bulk formats where suitable. Lumps and granules can also be offered in route-appropriate bulk or jumbo packing. Final lining, marking, palletising, container loading and moisture-conscious handling are confirmed according to the approved grade, order size and destination.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions from industrial dolomite buyers.
Need a different technical, agronomic or commercial answer? Include the question in your RFQ.
What is dolomite?
Dolomite is a calcium-magnesium carbonate mineral commonly represented as CaMg(CO3)2. Industrial grades are selected according to chemistry, impurities, processing condition, particle size and the intended application.
How is dolomite different from limestone?
Limestone is predominantly calcium carbonate, while dolomite contains significant magnesium carbonate together with calcium carbonate. They are not automatically interchangeable because the calcium-magnesium balance can change process, formulation and finished-product behaviour.
Which parameters are important when selecting a dolomite grade?
Buyers commonly review CaO and MgO or carbonate basis, SiO2, Fe2O3, Al2O3, loss on ignition, moisture and particle-size distribution. The relevant test method and processing condition should also be stated.
Are lumps, granules and powder available?
Selected lump, screened granular and powder options may be available. Share the required top size, sieve range, mesh, micron specification or reference sample so the closest commercial option can be reviewed.
Can dolomite be supplied for glass and steel applications?
Selected grades can be reviewed for glass and approved metallurgical flux programmes. Glass buyers should state iron, silica, CaO, MgO and sizing limits; steel buyers should confirm chemistry, size, processing condition and furnace requirements.
Can dolomite be supplied for agricultural use?
Selected dolomitic material may be considered for approved agricultural and soil programmes requiring calcium and magnesium. Suitability and application rate must be determined from soil analysis by the buyer’s qualified agronomist or soil specialist.
Which documents and packing formats can be supplied?
Applicable TDS, SDS and COA or shipment analysis can be supplied according to the proposed grade. Packing can include BILITON branded 25 kg and 50 kg bags, palletised bags, jumbo bags or bulk formats where suitable.
