Availability and shipment of HAI's newest specialty sand,
SpheriChrome, has been deferred due to production delays. The ORC plant is in the final stages of commissioning and scale up. SpheriChrome is anticipated to be available in September. Please contact your sales representative to preorder material today.
Targeted for large ferrous applications, SpheriChrome differentiates from conventional sub angular chromite in its round shape and finer grain size. SpheriChrome is mined and processed in Coos Bay, Oregon where Oregon Resources Corporation (ORC) employs low-impact mining and processing techniques with no blasting, crushing, or use of environmentally harmful chemicals.
Effective 3/2010 all
AlphaCure products are manufactured and shipped out of HAI's Toledo facility.
