What is andalusite? Application of Andalusite
Andalusite mineral is a new kind of high-alumina refractory material. It has the characteristics of high-temperature resistance, heat resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, high-impact resistance and high thermal mechanical strength. It has a wide range of application and high economic value. Andalusite mineral is mainly used in steel, ceramics, cement, glass and other industries.
