Anhydrite mineral Andricite

Product information

In the industrial process of making the fluorinated compound, we obtain our synthetic anhydrite as a by-product. By creating products from an existing process, we created the opportunity to develop new eco-technological products that have excellent performance both physical as well as mechanical.

Industrial applications for Andricite

Our customers use Andricite in the building and construction industry for:

• Floor screed / Gypsol
• Aerated blocks
• Carpet tiles
• Building chemistry

In addition to the applications in the building and construction industry, we sell Andricite as a:

• Plastic filler
• Agricultural fertiliser

Applications

Anhydrite is a natural mineral composed of calcium sulphate (CaSO₄), primarily used in cement, soil conditioning, and industrial applications. Some key applications include:

Cement & construction

• Used as a drying agent and sulphate source in cement and flooring compounds.
• Enhances strength, durability, and setting time in construction materials.

Soil conditioning & agriculture

• Improves soil structure, aeration, and calcium levels for better crop yields.
• Reduces soil compaction and enhances water drainage.

Industrial applications

• Utilised in plaster, wallboard, and as a filler in coatings and paints.
• Acts as a drying agent in various chemical manufacturing processes.

Self-levelling compounds

• Commonly used in screeds and self-levelling flooring to improve hardness.
• Provides improved consistency and setting properties in construction materials.

Glass & ceramics

• Added to glass production to improve quality and reduce defects.
• Used in ceramic applications for enhanced thermal and structural performance.
