About our product

A&H Minerals is a manufacturer of white calcium silicate granules in various granulometries.

Local raw materials quartz sand and lime are mixed with water to form a white paste. By adding a pinch of leavening agent, the paste doubles in volume with the formation of millions of air cells. This porous paste is cured in autoclaves under 12 bar steam pressure and is converted into natural porous rock mainly composed of tobermorite crystals and some calcium carbonate nutrient.

FAVORABLE CO2 FOOTPRINT AND ECOFRIENDLY

The white calcium silicate granules are lightweight (350kg/m³), resulting in low consumption of raw materials and energy in production and transportation to the market. Raw materials are locally sourced. The CO2 footprint is therefore favorable.

Unlike most calcium silicates on the market, A&H Minerals calcium silicate contains no sulfate or other chemical additives, making it an environmentally friendly product consisting only of sand/lime molecules, which generate the perfect natural white color.
