Unlike other minerals, such as gypsum (CaSO4,2H20), anhydrite does not contain any water in its crystal structure: it’s an anhydrous compound. This feature, as well as its specific crystalline configuration, make anhydrite a unique material with outstanding properties beneficial in many industrial applications. Although anhydrite can be found in natural mining deposits, it can also be obtained as a byproduct from different industrial processes. The Minersa Group produces, processes and markets the latest variety of this more sustainable anhydrite. Our activities Screed solutions : In construction, anhydrite can advantageously replace traditional cement, as a binder for screed mortars. Anhydrite is widely used in floor screed applications because of its numerous advantages : better fluidity for self-levelling, greater dimensional stability, high mechanical strength and outstanding thermal conductivity. Our dedicated brands : Industrial applications : Synthetic anhydrite can also be used as an additive for many industrial applications, such as : Cement production : to bring specific properties such as set time controller, enhancer of mechanical strength, shrinkage inhibiter ... Aerated block production : to generate hydrogen emission when the anhydrite reacts with the aluminum powder. Fertilizer production : to bring calcium and sulphate as fertilizing elements or as a mineral filler. Inerting industry : to neutralize polluted soil in order to prevent further pollution spread.
