Sustainable high density material

LKAB Minerals produces MagnaDense, a product used in counterweights, from its own resources, ensuring long-term availability and consistent quality. The product is harmless to the environment, non-toxic in all its forms, and sustainable.

Heavy concrete for making counterweights

When you want to design a consistent counterweight selecting MagnaDense as the high-density material is the right choice. We can supply a range of MagnaDense products to match your requirements.

MagnaDense in concrete can provide a density of typically 4.0 t/m3. When mixed with other iron-based materials, concrete, including MagnaDense, can achieve a density of up to 5.0 t/m3.

Watch our movie below to understand how easy it is to mix MagnaDense with cement and water to create heavy concrete that can be used as a counterweight here:

Bridges, elevators, and other counterweight applications

When more weight is needed but volume is restricted due to the product’s design where the balancing weight is located, MagnaDense is the best solution.

We have experience in supplying our dense aggregates as counterweights for the following applications:
