This is a polymer complex (a combination of two or more polymers with different degrees of hydrolysis and molecular weight subjected to mechanical activation) with addition of inorganic components, which has a positive effect on the process of pelletizing and pellet quality. This is used as a binder for the production of iron ore pellets alone or in combination with bentonite clay. The specialness of the IPB is that this binder adjusts the granular composition of iron ore pellets in the direction of the maximum distillate of usable fraction and contributes to strengthening of the fired pellets at their optimal porosity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Depending on the viscosity characteristics the IPB is manufactured in three grades: a low-viscosity IPB (IPB -LV), medium viscosity IPB (IPB-MV), high viscosity IPB (IPB-HV).<\/p>\n IPB is manufactured in accordance with the requirements of TU 2164-008-49215611-2009 and has the following quality indicators:<\/p>\n \n\n\n| Visual form<\/td>\n | Powder of gray color, depending on the mineral composition may be of brownish color<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Moisture content, not more than<\/td>\n | 9<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Residue on the sieve #071 %<\/td>\n | 30<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Effective viscosity, 1% of suspension (mPa*s)<\/td>\n | IPB-LV \u2013 from 5 to 10; IPB-MV \u2013 from 10 to 20; IPB-HV \u2013 more than 20<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n Our major customers in the metallurgical industry are \u00abKarelsky Okatysh\u00bb OJSC, \u00abEvraz Kachkanarsky GOK\u00bb OJSC, \u00abMikhailovsky GOK\u00bb OJSC, \u00abOskol Electrometallurgical Plant\u00bb OJSC, “Lebedinsky GOK” OJSC, \u00abDonskoy GOK\u00bb SC and others.<\/p>\n | | | |
