The cement industry is one of the largest consumers of industrial minerals — and Gimpex plays a vital role in supporting its raw material supply chain. Limestone is the primary ingredient in clinker production, providing calcium for cement chemistry. Clay supplies essential silica, alumina, and iron content needed for clinker formation. Bauxite is used as an alumina-rich additive to balance raw mix composition. Mill scale contributes additional iron content, improving kiln efficiency and reducing reliance on virgin materials. Coal serves as a primary fuel for rotary kilns due to its high calorific value. Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS) is used as a supplementary cementitious material to enhance strength and durability. Cenosphere, with its lightweight and pozzolanic properties, is used in specialty cement blends and insulating materials.

Our mineral inputs support sustainable, cost-effective, and high-quality cement manufacturing.
