You are here Home Aalborg White World History 1 2 3 4 5 1930-31 It all began millions of years ago. In some cases chalk was formed from the deposition of micro-organisms extracting calcium carbonate from sea water close to the surface. In other cases corals formed on the beds of shallow seas. Subsequent compression then consolidated the deposits to varying degrees; in geologically active regions high-grade marbles have formed. In 1930-31, it began the production of white cement at the factory in Aalborg, Denmark, when there was a requirement for white or pale cement for the use in production of coloured cement. In the beginning, kaolin from England or Czechoslovakia was used when burning white cement clinker for white cement, and the sand was collected by and in the fjord, close to the factory in Rørdal. Back then, the director together with a few employees went for a daily factory tour, where they inspected the white clinker. A test was collected and a ‘colour analysis’ was carried out. The clinker were exposed to light from a fluorescent tube and compared with a white board. If the test was good enough, there was a nod from the masters and the inspection was continued.
