Chromite Ore

Delivering high-purity, consistent-grade chromite ore that powers efficient, cost-effective ferroalloy production worldwide.

Technical Specifications – Backed by International Testing Standards

Our chromite ore is rigorously graded to ensure consistency and purity that aligns with metallurgical and refractory industry standards. Each lot is certified under globally accepted testing protocols.

ParameterValueMethod
Cr₂O₃46.5% minXRF (ISO 9516-1)
SiO₂2.5% maxICP-OES
Al₂O₃9.0% maxXRF
P0.02% maxSpectrophotometry
Size10–80 mm lumps (85% yield)ISO 4703
Moisture1.0% maxISO 3087

This balance of high chromium content, low silica, and minimal phosphorus makes it ideal for high-grade ferrochrome applications, ensuring strong mechanical integrity in the final alloy.

Operational Benefits for Ferroalloy & Steel Producers


 Our chromite ore isn’t just specification-compliant—it’s engineered for economic and metallurgical efficiency:

  • Cost Efficiency: Every 1% increase in Cr₂O₃ content saves approximately $14 per metric ton in ferrochrome production.
  • Purity Advantage: Phosphorus below 0.02% prevents steel embrittlement, crucial for aerospace, automotive, and infrastructure steel applications.
  • Processing Efficiency: Lumps sized 10–80mm ensure 85% size conformity, reducing pelletizing and energy costs by up to 22%.

Addressing Buyer Pain Points with Precision & Assurance


 We understand that sourcing minerals from unfamiliar geographies can raise concerns about quality, traceability, compliance, and post-shipment support. At Shah Mercantile Co., we eliminate those uncertainties through:

1. Transparent Pre-Shipment Validation

Each batch is inspected and analyzed at international third-party labs of your choice, such as SGS or Intertek, ensuring unbiased, verifiable results before shipment leaves port.

2. Logistics & Material Integrity

To preserve grade and prevent cross-contamination:

  • We use dedicated, contamination-free trucks for inland transport.
  • Magnetic separators are installed pre-loading to remove tramp iron.
  • Full cargo weight and moisture are re-verified at port before loading.

3. Compliant Documentation

Each shipment is delivered with a comprehensive documentation pack that meets global compliance standards:

  • Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) – SGS certified (can be negotiated)
  • REACH Compliance Documentation (EU)
  • GB/T 5687-2021 Compliance (China)
  • Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) Due Diligence Report (can be negotiated)

This ensures smooth customs clearance and traceability at destination ports.

Commercial Terms & Flexibility


 We are committed to fostering lasting partnerships through flexibility and professionalism. Our trade terms are tailored to suit your business model:

  • Incoterms: FOB Gwadar / CFR Qingdao / CIF Rotterdam (can be negotiated)
  • Minimum Order Quantity: 500 MT (can be negotiated for trial orders)
  • Insurance Coverage: All-risk marine insurance at 0.45% of invoice value (can be negotiated)
  • Certifications: SGS, RMI, or others based on destination and buyer requirement (can be negotiated)

Our export operations are built around consistency, timeline adherence, and responsiveness. Whether you’re a trader, alloy manufacturer, or steel producer, we ensure you receive the quality you specify—delivered with integrity.

Product Grades Available


 We supply multiple commercial-grade chromite ore variants, depending on your application:

  • Metallurgical Grade:
    Cr₂O₃: 44–48%
    Ideal for ferrochrome and stainless steel
  • Refractory Grade:
    Cr₂O₃: 42–45%
    High fusion point, suitable for linings, bricks, and heat-resistant applications

Grading, sizing, and packaging can be tailored based on your end-use and process requirements.
