(1) About Us

Baugain 3k Holding is the exploring associated company of the pioneer mineral producer of Sri Lanka, initiated in 1958.

This Company had been established solely to cater marketing all minerals in demand to reputed companies around the globe. The prime firm initiated mining of mineral based produces including of its customer required processing during 1958.

  Since the introduction of minerals resources to Sri Lanka the necessity for local market persisted

with requirements and highlighted a fresh era in the mineral market of Sri Lanka. We do have the experience in mining and mineral processing, where our company now acclaimed as the Pioneer producer of Minerals in Sri Lanka supplying the plantations sector with processed Dolomite and mineral supporting requiring industries included with other minerals. Our Mines are based in Sri Lanka and India.

  There is also a solid customer base with good reputation of company which constantly keeps with

the latest developments intact and remark where experience had been taken into its expanding operations.

  The company adheres to high ethical standards in action with integrity and honesty. With our ethical

We are backed up by a wide distribution network and spacious warehouse that enable us to ensure timely delivery of the products. Our client oriented approaches and reasonable prices provide us an additional edge over other competitors in the similar arena. We can provide products in all ranges of meshes and microns.

 

(2) Dolomite

We offer a highly versatile range of mineral Natural Dolomite which is used in various industries. Dolomite is a double carbonate of calcium and magnesium and it exhibits a granular structure. It has high natural whiteness and its noted for their ease of dispersion. Its use improves properties such as wheatherability, reduces shrinkage, fissure development and water absorption. We use best quality machines to ensure the quality of our Dolomite Mineral. We also provide with Dolomite Chips. We have carved a niche as one of the leading Dolomite Ore Manufacturers in Sri-Lanka.Application:Refractoriness,Ceramic,Rubber, Iron, Steel,Detergents,Paints,Linoleum Flooring,Glass,mixture in manufacturing floor tiles, paper etc.

(3) Quartz

We bring the finest Natural Quartz forth to suffice the fierce requirements of end users. The most important distinction between the types of quartz is that one is of macrocrystalline, which is individual crystal visible to the unaided eye, and the other is microcrystalline or cryptocrystalline varieties, aggregates of crystals visible only under high magnification. Chalcedony is the generic term for cryptocrystalline quartz. The transparent variety tends to be microcrystalline and the cryptocrystalline varieties are either translucent or mostly opaque.It has a hexagonal crystal structure and is made of trifocal crystallized silica. It is most varied in terms of varieties, colors and forms. Also specialized for ultra high products in the electronic and fibre optic industries, and fused Silicate quartz for condensers.Application: Ceramic, Rubber, Paints, Linoleum Flooring etc

(4) Silica Sand

Silica sand is used throughout the world, and in so many different ways it is hard to imagine a world without it. From water filtration, to glass manufacture, to industrial casting, to sand blasting, to producing concrete, to adding texture to slick roads, silica sand impacts every aspect of daily life. Many industrial suppliers carry silica sand in bulk quantities, while some smaller household stores sell it in smaller amounts for home or home construction use. One of the major uses of silica sand in the modern world is as an ingredient in industrial concrete. Silica sand produces the bulk of a great deal of concrete, although some concrete bypasses its use for safety and strength reasons.Silica sands have a large number of other industrial uses depending on their characteristics. Production of glass foundry sand ceramics sandblasting and other abrasives building products filler and extender production of silicon and silicon carbide pigments, hydraulic fracturing and propping in the oil industryultra high silica products in the electronic and fibre optic industries, fused silica, silicone products water filtration

(5) Feldspar

Our factory is , highly qualified for the massive production of any ore of our productions including feldspar.Our feldspar is used in various industries:like the industry of ceramics, glass, and ultra heating processes.Feldspar  is the most common rock-forming mineral (about 60% of the earth’s crust). The mineral name feldspar is derived from the German words feld + spar. Feldspar minerals are usually white or very light in color, have a hardness of 6 on the Mohs’ Scale of Hardness and perfect to good cleavage (plane of breakage) in two directions. Feldspar is a common name that applies to a group of minerals with a general chemical formula of x Al(Al,Si)3O8, where x can be sodium (Na) and/or calcium (Ca) and/or potassium (K). (Specific compositional varieties (i.e. albite, microcline…) are discussed under Mineral Descriptions). Feldspar weathers to kaolin which is the main clay mineral used in ceramics and fine pottery.

We supply the best quality Feldspar Powder which is hard to find anywhere else. Also, our Sodium Feldspar is available at the most reasonable rates.Application:Ceramic tiles, whiteware, glazes, glass, porcelain enamel frits, China, earthware,ceramics, filler, welding electrodes,glazes,enamel, glass sand, Paints and abrasives.
