Raw Materials

Sintered / Dead Burned Magnesia (DBM) — the KSKM grade range, produced from our own ore reserves and sold directly to refractory producers and industrial users worldwide.

The ore is ours. The magnesia is traceable. The chemistry is consistent.

KONREF controls approximately half of Türkiye's natural magnesite reserves. From that ore base we produce Dead Burned Magnesia in our own rotary kiln — the same raw material that underpins our brick and monolithic products, and the only raw material we offer for direct sale. It is sold under the KSKM grade range to third-party refractory manufacturers and industrial users who need a consistent, non-China magnesia source.

All values shown are typical and may vary within ±5% by grade and production campaign. Full chemical and physical analysis is available for each production batch.

Who buys KSKM magnesia.

  • Independent refractory manufacturers — a consistent, document-backed magnesia alternative to Chinese spot-market supply.
  • EU and US procurement programmes — where country-of-origin requirements or supply-chain due diligence exclude Chinese magnesia.
  • Monolithics and ramming-mix producers — needing high-purity dead burned magnesia at reliable specifications.
  • Engineering contractors — specifying traceable magnesia for critical refractory linings in new-plant projects.
