Mill scale, is formed on the outer surfaces of plates, sheets or profiles when they are being produced by rolling hot iron or steel billets in rolling or steel mills.
It looks like a hard brittle sand and is mainly composed of iron oxides, mostly ferric, and is bluish black in color.
Being produced during the reheating, conditioning and hot rolling operation for the production of steel articles, the mill scale initially adheres to the steel surface and protects it from atmospheric corrosion, provided no break occurs in this coating.
From the chemical and physical analysis performed on the scrap, and according to the european environmental rules, the material has been classified as a special non dangerous waste, listed in green list
In particular the mill scale can be classified as follows:
Einecs (european commission no.): 266-007-8
Waste code: 10 02 10
Basel code: b 12 30
Hs code: 2619.00
Properties: The product is a white crystalline powder or a sandy-size granularity, and a pinkish crystalline powder or a sandy-size granularity as well. Sp.gr.2.953.01g/cm3, melting point about 1000centigrade, specific heat 1.056j/gcentigradeat 18100centigrade. Its slightly soluble in water, but insoluble in anhydrous hydrogen fluoride. The content of its crystal water will be decreased while the increasing of the molecular ratio, therefore its loss on ignition will be also decreased while the increasing of the molecular ratio. After the paste of synthetic cryolite with different molecular ratio dehydrates, the loss on ignition at 800centigrade will appear 10.34%, 6.22% and 2.56% when the molecular ratio reaches 1.74, 2.14 and 2.63 reactively.

Uses: Its mainly used as a flux in the aluminum smelting by fused-salt electrolysis; also an opalizer in the manufacture of enamel; an opacifier and auxiliary solvent of glass and enamel; an insecticide of crops; a flux in aluminum alloy casting; and in the production of ferrous alloy and effervescing steel; as well as a wear-resistant filler for resin and rubber-boned abrasive wheels.
Packing & Storage: In plastic coating woven bags with plastic film inside, 25kg,40kgs, 50kgs or 1000kgs net each, or as the requirement of clients.Stored: in a cool , ventilated, dry place.

Three year contract, fixed price for first two years; adjusted to market in 3rd year, or as negotiated. This is good coal and with a two year fixed price contract it should be very attractive. Buyer can inspect coal on site and contract directly with producer if required.
Producer has 20+ years in business and sells to some of the largest US power and steel companies.
