Malli Minerals International supplies Natural Red Iron Oxide (Fe₂O₃), sourced from shoreline riverbeds. Belonging to the Hematite mineral category, this organic earth mineral is highly valued for agricultural and industrial use.

It is commonly blended with fertilizers in the mulch industry to maintain soil pH levels and provide iron enrichment. In addition, it serves as a cost-effective raw material in the steel industry, cement, tiles, and construction applications.

Typical applications include

• Agriculture & Mulch Industry: Natural iron oxide is blended with fertilizers and mulch to maintain soil pH and provide an essential iron source for plant growth.

• Steel Industry: Used as a raw material in steel production due to its iron content.

• Construction Materials: Added to cement, tiles, and concrete products to improve durability and provide natural red coloring.

• Pigments: Provides earthy red tones in bricks, ceramics, and traditional construction.

• Water Treatment: Occasionally used in natural filtration systems to enhance iron levels in water.

• Soil Enrichment: Corrects iron deficiency in acidic and sandy soils, supporting sustainable agriculture.
