From ASIKOS to STEAG Power Minerals

The successful story continues

For many customers, ASIKOS was for a long time synonymous with the

highest product quality, the best advice and service, and innovative, custo-

mer-oriented developments in the blasting abrasives segment. Following the

incorporation of the business in the parent company STEAG Power Minerals,

the customers can still rely on these distinguishing characteristics – and also

benefit from a stronger logistics network and long-term security of supply.

Since its foundation in 1979, STEAG Power Minerals has established

itself as the European market leader for the recycling and marketing of

by-products from coal-fired power plants. For over 35 years now, the

company has been producing additives for construction materials which

are in great demand in the concrete and cement industry, among others,

on account of their quality-enhancing properties, and can today be

found in almost every cubic meter of concrete.

ASIKOS and STEAG – Closely connected for decades

The customers of STEAG Power Minerals benefit from over 45 years

of experience in the field of blasting abrasives. As early as 1967,

ASIKOS GmbH & Co. KG was founded in Herne, and half of its

shares were transferred to STEAG in 1974. The cin bulk partnership

between the two companies which had always existed was further

strengthened in 1980 by the move of the head office to the STEAG

building in Dinslaken. Since 1990, the company traded under the

name of ASIKOS Strahlmittel GmbH. The extensive and high-quality

range of products made ASIKOS a synonym for the best quality and

innovative developments in the blasting abrasives segment for many

customers over two decades.

Well positioned to face the future together

With effect from January 1, 2012, ASIKOS, which had been a wholly

owned subsidiary of STEAG Power Minerals since 2002, was fully

integrated into the parent company. This was the last, logical step in

a continuous process of convergence which had lasted almost four

decades and which benefited all the parties involved, and especially

the customers. For thanks to the comprehensive logistics network of

STEAG Power Minerals and the secured availability of raw materials for

blasting abrasives production, the continuing high demands for product

quality, customer-orientation and innovation can be fulfilled in the new

Blasting Abrasives Division in the long term and on the highest level.

The products from STEAG Power Minerals still bear the names

which are familiar in the industry, such as ASILIKOS or AFESIKOS.

These names are however more than just the simple designation

of a product. On the contrary, they also provide an indication of the

special properties of the blasting abrasives which have made them

so successful: ASILIKOS stems from the time when blasting with

sand was prohibited on account of the high risk of silicosis. In con-

trast to sand, ASILIKOS (composed of “a” from the Greek for “with-

out” and “silikos”) is free from the silica which is responsible for the

disease. The name AFESIKOS furthermore stands for a product

which is also free from metallic iron (“ferrum” in Latin) and is there-

fore especially suitable for use on magnetic, metallic surfaces.

What our product names tell you

we have reliably provided our customers with high-

quality blasting abrasives and personal customer service

Latest technology for perfect abrasives

Disposable blasting abrasives from STEAG Power Minerals, manufactured

from slag tap granulate, have enjoyed great popularity for several decades.

The raw material is created during the combustion of hard coal in power

plants, when liquid ash rapidly cools in a water bath, and is predominantly

composed of silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide and ferric oxide. The blasting

abrasives manufactured from the purely mineral granulate, with its low pro-

portions of contaminants and free silica, has an extremely low environmen-

tal impact and is especially suitable for use on sensitive surfaces.

Precise grain sizes down to hundredths of a millimeter

The plant can produce around 60 metric tons of blasting abrasives per

hour and up to 160,000 tons per annum. In that process, the granulate

supplied direct from the neighboring power plant by conveyor belt is first

treated to relieve stress, and the moisture then removed in a special drum-

type dryer. Two screening systems sort the granulate into grain sizes from

0.04 to 5 millimeters.

The abrasive can then be packaged for transport in 25 kilogram bags, or

in 1.0, 1.35 or 1.5 metric ton big bags, or directly loaded onto silo trucks.

There are also roofed-over storage areas available for 800 metric tons of

blasting abrasives, and a further 2,500 tons can be stocked in the open

air. In this way, even large-volume orders can be fulfilled on time.

By the way, we are thoroughly conscious of our responsibility for the envi-

ronment. That is why we operate an Environmental Management System

certified to ISO 14001 at our Lünen Blasting Abrasives Plant and at all

other production and handling facilities of STEAG Power Minerals.

Since 2007, the STEAG Power Minerals abrasives plant in Lünen has been

using slag tap granulate to produce the high-quality blasting abrasives

ASILIKOS, AFESIKOS and ASILIT and the industrial minerals ASILUX and

ASILGRIP. The plant ranks among the most up to date facilities for the

manufacture of blasting abrasives and decorative construction materials

in Europe.

From cleaning work, through applications in product finishing, to debur-

ring or forming processes, every field of application and every objective

places its own demands on the abrasive to be used. Starting with the

chemical properties and the raw materials used, the hardness of the

abrasive and the grain size and shape, a multitude of factors have to be

taken into account in selecting the correct product. The range of reusa-

ble and non-reusable blasting abrasives in different grain sizes, degrees

of hardness and grain shapes is correspondingly broadly based.

Disposable blasting abrasives are as a rule used for one blasting ope-

ration only, and are then no longer usable. They are mostly used in

cases where the abrasive is heavily contaminated during blasting, or

where collection and reprocessing would be uneconomical. Disposable

blasting abrasives, like ASILIKOS, AFESIKOS or ASILIT, are frequently

based on processed natural or artificial minerals, and are mostly used

in mobile blasting systems, for instance on construction sites.

Reusable blasting abrasives, in contrast, are predominantly used in

stationary systems. They mostly consist of metal (Steel Grit or Steel

Shot), minerals (Garnet) or sodium glass (Glass Beads, Glass Granulate).

After the blasting process, the abrasive is collected, freed of contami-

nation and fines, and then returned into the cycle. In order to maintain

a consistent blasting result, an operating mixture comprising a certain

proportion of used abrasive and a proportion of new abrasive which is

regularly added is defined.

Which blasting abrasive in which variant is best suited for your project

is decided jointly with you in a personal consultation. Our employees

are established experts in their fields, are totally familiar with the cha-

racteristics of our blasting abrasives, and can define their action and

effect on almost every surface. In compiling your individual solution,

they draw on comprehensive theoretical knowledge of the products

and extensive practical experience. They also take account of factors

specific to the individual project such as the quality and sensitivity of

the surface, the desired result and the blasting process to be used. If

required, we will also arrive at the ideal product selection by testing

under conditions identical to those of your application.

Precise selection of the products is decisive in achieving a perfect result. That applies

in particular to blasting projects. Our staff are familiar with all aspects of our products,

and aware of all the individual areas of application and opportunities for use. They will

be pleased to use their know-how to advise you and assist in selecting the ideal blas-

ting abrasive for your project.

Industrial minerals – for characteristic shine and secure grip

The industrial minerals from STEAG Power Minerals are synthetic

mineral substances which do not pollute the environment. Like our

blasting abrasives, they are manufactured from the by-products of

hard coal combustion in power plants, and have a variety of appli-

cations. Used as decorative building materials, they give concrete

slabs, roof tiles and façade elements an unmistakable shine, and

the resistance of roofing felt to abrasion and UV radiation can also

be significantly increased.

Scattered on fresh bitumen, our industrial minerals provide the

necessary grip on new carriageways right from the start.
