What Makes Our Specularite Stand Out?

• Natural, high-purity specular hematite with metallic luster
• High Fe content – ideal for industrial, metallurgical, and surface applications
• Excellent reflective and infrared absorption properties
• Enhances density, strength, and surface finish in specialty formulations
• Low impurity levels and consistent particle size distribution
• Available in lump, granule, and micronized powder form
• Suitable for advanced industrial materials, coatings, and construction systems

 

SPECULARITE GRADES (typical supply range)

Grade	Fe Content	Form
Premium Grade	≥ 95% Fe₂O₃	Granules / Powder
High Grade	90–95% Fe₂O₃	Lumps / Granules / Powder
Industrial Grade	85–90% Fe₂O₃	Lumps / Granules

 

TECHNICAL BENEFITS AT A GLANCE

• High iron content with strong metallic shine and flake structure
• Improves mechanical strength and abrasion resistance
• Enhances radiation and infrared absorption in construction materials
• Excellent performance in anti-corrosive and heat-resistant coatings
• Provides barrier and reflective properties in specialty paints
• Consistent quality with traceable sourcing and testing

 

SPECULARITE – A Premium Form of Hematite

Specularite is a crystalline, metallic form of hematite known for its high iron content, natural sparkle, and excellent reflective properties. Its unique flake-like structure provides superior hardness, stability, and performance in high-end industrial and material applications.

With its combination of durability, metallic brilliance, and chemical stability, specularite is valued in construction chemistry, coatings, metallurgy, and advanced material fillers.

A reliable mineral solution for performance-driven industrial systems.
