HFST Bauxite

Calcined bauxite has traditionally been one of the most commonly used aggregate materials for High Friction Surfacing Treatment (HFST). HFST Bauxite is a high-alumina, calcined bauxite aggregate designed to provide excellent skid resistance, durability, and long-term surface performance for roads, highways, intersections, ramps, bridges, and other high-risk traffic locations.

HFST Bauxite Specifications

Sr. No. Parameter Specification
1 Al2O3 85% to 88%
2 SiO2 4% to 6%
3 TiO2 4% to 5%
4 Fe2O3 3% to 5%
5 LOI 0.5%
6 BD 3.1 to 3.2

Key Features & Benefits

  • High alumina content ranging from 85% to 88%.

  • Excellent skid resistance for improved road safety.

  • High durability and resistance to aggregate polishing.

  • Suitable for High Friction Surfacing Treatment applications.

  • High-density aggregate with bulk density of approximately 3.1 to 3.2.

  • Low loss on ignition (LOI) of approximately 0.5%.

Applications

HFST Bauxite is primarily used as a high-friction aggregate in road surfacing systems where enhanced traction and skid resistance are required.

  • High Friction Surface Treatment (HFST)
  • Highways and expressways
  • Sharp curves and bends
  • Road intersections and junctions
  • Highway ramps and exit lanes
  • Bridge decks
  • Steep grades and high-risk road sections
  • Areas requiring improved wet-weather traction

Why Use Calcined Bauxite for HFST?

Calcined bauxite is valued for its high hardness, durability, and resistance to polishing. These characteristics allow the aggregate to maintain a textured surface and provide reliable tire grip over extended service periods. It is therefore widely used in applications where maintaining adequate friction is important for vehicle control and road safety.

Product Quality

Our HFST Bauxite is produced from selected bauxite and processed through controlled calcination to achieve the required chemical composition and physical properties. The material is processed and supplied according to application requirements, including suitable aggregate grading and sizing for high-friction surfacing applications.
