Mullite 55 is an exciting mineral just being launched by Hoben International and is complementary to its Investagrog Alumino Silicate material. It is of the highest quality with 46% Alumina and 51% Sillica mineral content with a low Iron, Potassium and Sodium oxide level. An exceptionally high quality material, it has a Mullite content of 52% minimum.
     Up to date Hoben International has only produced flours for the investment casting industry, but the new Mullite 55 is available both in flour form for slurry tanks and also in a comprehensive range of crushed and graded material produced with an exceptionally low dust content specifically for the investment casting industry.
