STEATITE
LOW-IRON · MAGNESIUM SILICATE
Steatite
Low-iron magnesium silicate media for contamination-sensitive milling.
Steatite (magnesium silicate) media offers a true density of 2.6 g/cm³ with very low iron pick-up and low heat build-up during extended grinding cycles. These properties make it the established choice for white and light-coloured pigments, ceramic bodies and electrical porcelain, where colour integrity and chemical purity are essential.

WHY STEATITE
When the batch must stay clean and cool.
Low iron contamination
Protects whites, brights and electrical bodies where even a trace of iron would discolour or fault the product.
Low heat build-up
Runs cool through long batch cycles, gentle milling that suits heat-sensitive materials.
Economical & proven
Decades of dependable service in ceramics, minerals and electrical porcelain at a sensible cost.
