Van Mannekus & Co. B.V. is a well established processor and trader of magnesium oxide (MgO). We have different types of magnesium oxide available in our product portfolio.
Synthetic MgO
Synthetic magnesium oxide is predominantly produced from either seawater or brine, which is reacted with lime or dolime.
Our product for the synthetic magnesium oxide is called Purmag, and is available in various activities. With this product we target markets such as waste water treatment, rubber and plastics, catalysts, paper and pulp, magnesium compounds and lubricants.
Natural MgO
Magnesium oxide calcined from Magnesite (MgCO3) is often referred to as 'natural magnesium oxide'. The Magnesite can be calcined in horizontal rotary kilns or vertical (shaft or multiple hearth) kilns, each resulting in a magnesium oxide with different physical properties. Grecian Magnesite S.A, 50% share holder of VMC, is Europe's biggest producers of natural magnesium oxide and Possehl Erzkontor GmbH is Europe's biggest importer of natural magnesium oxide.
