Product Detailed Description by Trade Rock for Trading and Mining
Product Name:
Black Sand - Heavy Mineral Rich Sand
Origin:
Egypt
Producer & Exporter:
Trade Rock for Trading and Mining
Product Description:
Black Sand, also known as heavy mineral sand, is a naturally occurring deposit rich in valuable minerals such
as ilmenite, zircon, rutile, monazite, and magnetite. It is a strategic raw material for the production of titanium
dioxide (TiO2), ceramics, refractory materials, and rare earth elements. Trade Rock supplies high-grade
Egyptian black sand, sourced and processed to meet the diverse needs of industrial, metallurgical, and
energy markets.

Industrial utilities:
Ilmenite :
1. The primary ore of titanium.
2. Manufacture of titanium dioxide for paint pigments.
3. To manufacture a wide variety of metal parts where light weight and very high
strength are needed. (e.g. aircraft parts, artificial joints for humans and sporting
equipment such as bicycle frames.)
4. Used in a number of high-performance alloys.
