Producer of water filtration media, foundry & refractory materials. With today’s ever increasing growth in consumer spending, the escalating demand for finished goods is more fervent than ever. African Pegmatite has, over the past forty years, been instrumental in providing base minerals to the manufacturing sector, in order to transform these minerals into finished commodities. These finished com
modities are represented in all sorts of ordinary, yet essential paraphernalia, from coloured glass, bricks and steel, right through to the clean water that flows generously out of your tap
African Pegmatite’s rich history in the minerals industry was born in 1971. It has since been our passion to ensure that our ever expanding product offering would not only accommodate the various markets in the brick, glass, cement, water filtration, agricultural and foundry industries, but that we would also remain at the forefront of the industry. Being located in South Africa, we are able to source materials directly from the mines rather than sourcing from a third party thus saving additional commission fees paid to agents. Agricultural Fungicides
The application of Inorganic, as well as Organic farm approved fungicides for wide spectrums of fruit, vegetables and wheat, have given farmers added production and protection. Fungicides such as Demildex, Copper Oxychloride, Sunshade, Lime Sulphur and Zinc Chloride provide outstanding results for farmers with fungicidal and micro element problems. Brick Pigments
African Pegmatite produces brick colourants, including Manganese and Iron Oxides, which are used by customers on five continents. Specialist low temperature engobe colours have been developed, which are colour fast, producing a wide range of textures and finishes. Forty years of experience and knowledge have aided us in the development of these products. Cement Pigments
Inorganic colourants and umber, which are inexpensive, have become popular within cement and plaster industries, as they allow for fast colouring as well as prevent fading for many decades. Foundry casting

By providing consistent granulation and composition over the past forty years, we have persuaded our customers that quality and consistency is an essential prerequisite A wide range of chrome sands are available upon request, spanning from 20 to 200 AFS.
