TRANSCRIPT
Based in New Caledonia, SLN (ERAMET Group), the world largest Ferronickel producer, also produces Ferronickel slag (FNS) at a continuous rate of 1.6 Mt/y. FNS is a widely-used construction material in New Caledonia and is now available for sale in Australia.
Le Nickel SLN :New source of manufactured
sand in the Pacific region
* FerroNickel Slag is a by-product granulated from the Nickel smelting industry of New Caledonia
FNS* is qualified as 0/4 coarse sand as per the 2758.1 standard for concrete
A wide range of benefits for batching plants
• Increased compressive strength for concrete mixes• Low water absorption leading to reduced cement
requirements• Recycled material, be part of the circular economy
Consistent quality yet constantly controlled
• Extremely clean, no organics, no clay, no washing required
• Chemical and physical properties are consistent over time
• Commercial stockpile with quality controls performed as per AS 2758.1 standard
Extensively tested and demonstrated usage
• Used for decades as non-structural concrete in New Caledonia for footpaths, block works and breakwaters structures
• Industrial test performed for structural concrete at SLN with excellent results
• Extensive researches carried out with Curtin University, UNSW since 2011 for proven usage in all concrete applications
COARSE SANDFOR FINE CONCRETE
Extensively available and quickly deliverable
• 1.6 million tons produced per year• 25 million tons of historical stocks• Can be delivered by 35,000 DWT bulk vessels to
all major Australian bulk ports
Chemical analysis
• No free-reactive magnesia-(Periclase)• MgO in the form of forsterite and
enstatite • No crystalline silica.• Apparent density : 2.95• Water absorption ratio : 0.68%• Chloride free / No-leachable material• Sugar free / No organics / No clay
SLN, a world-class player in its market
• Part of the ERAMET Group, major player in Nickel, Manganese and Superalloys• Operating since 1880• SLN is the largest ferronickel producer in the world with 55kt Ni produced in 2016• ISO 9001 & ISO 14 001 compliant

SLN Ferronickel Slag, a qualified manufactured sand (0/4) for construction, is now ready for sale on the Australian market. This by-product of our Nickel refining process meets the requirements of a wide range of applications material for use in: concrete, pavement, reclamation works, etc. FNS has more than 80 years of proven use in New Caledonia.Traded as “Le SLAND”, this FNS will be regularly shipped straight from Noumea to storage points near major Australian bulk ports (only 2-3 days by sea). Le SLAND fits the circular economy principles and helps the construction industry to reduce its environmental impact.
FNS «Le SLAND» is the guarantee of :
• A robust and sustainable alternative source of aggregate for construction : close to 1,6 million tonnes of ferronickel slag is produced by SLN each year (SLN is the World’s largest ferronickel supplier and have been renowned for our expertise in the extraction and transformation of nickel for over 135 years).
• A perfectly homogenous and quality-controlled supply : given that very stringent process-controls are imposed during the nickel smelting process.
• An innovative and sustainable product : extensive studies are being conducted by Curtin and UNSW to qualify ground-FNS as a supplementary cementitious material (SCM).
Ferronickel Slag from New Caledonia now available in Australia
