Applications of Ferromin

Applications and Uses of Ferromin

FerroShield™ / FerroDense™ products are available as standard grades or tailor made to unique and precise specifications. It can be used as loose ballast, or as aggregate to produce high-quality, high-density concrete that is easily produced and placed using standard equipment.

Loose Ballast

• Offshore ballasting of rigs and caissons
• Scour protection for underwater structures or pipelines –Ground stabilisation – to reduce piling

High Density Concrete

• Underwater concrete (tunnels, pipeline mattresses)
• Counterweights (bridges, locks, sluices, elevators, excavators)
• Coastal protection (breakwaters – precast antifer cubes)
• Pipe Coating (negative buoyancy coatings)
• Radiation Shielding (medical & nuclear) – Ready mix, concrete block, masonry sand, pre-cast

With its outstanding properties and compliance with ASTM and CSA standards FerroShield™ / FerroDense™ continues to gain ground in many new and varied applications and industries.
