Sustainable Mineral Solutions from Greenland for a Changing World
Lumina Sustainable Materials produces high-purity anorthosite from its Qaqortorsuaq mine in Western Greenland. Our products—refined to different grades and specifications—are used across industries including paints, coatings, glass fiber, fire-retardant materials, fillers, and cement alternatives. With low silica, high aluminum and calcium content, and no toxic by-products, Lumina's anorthosite offers a cleaner, more sustainable mineral solution for modern manufacturing.
Applications:
E-glass
Utilizing Lumina's anorthosite to produce E-glass delivers exceptional electrical insulation and a smaller environmental footprint, through energy savings and CO2 reduction, making it a prime, eco-friendlier choice for the aerospace, automotive, and construction industries.
Plastics
Anorthosite additives improve the anti-block, UV stability, flame resistance, and toughness of plastics, offering a sustainable solution that bolsters the durability and functionality of plastic products while diminishing reliance on non-renewable resources.
Friction
Anorthosite augments the strength, durability, and compatibility of phenolic friction resins used in automotive and industrial brake systems, presenting a greener alternative to conventional materials and reducing environmental impact.
Paints & Coatings
Greenspar, sourced from anorthosite, is integrated into paints and coatings to significantly enhance durability and facilitate lower VOC emissions, promoting environmentally friendly practices within the coatings sector.
Lunar Studies
Lumina's anorthosite acts as a terrestrial counterpart to lunar highlands, fostering academic research and simulation studies that facilitate lunar geology exploration and potential in-situ resource utilization in forthcoming missions.
Mineral Wool
With its high aluminum and calcium content, anorthosite-based mineral wool provides excellent insulation with fewer impurities, perfect for energy-efficient building and industrial uses, thereby contributing to sustainability.
Products:
AnoFine 800
AnoFine 800 is a white, chemical-free anorthosite product from Greenland with high aluminum and calcium content. A sustainable alternative to bauxite and cement, it enhances durability in composite materials and enables low-emission industrial processes.
AnoTherm5
AnoTherm5 is a light grey, low-alkali anorthosite with high hardness and thermal stability. Engineered for insulation and high-temperature industrial use, it provides a clean, water-resistant material with a tight particle size specification.
Aurora
Aurora is a high-purity anorthosite additive designed for use in paints and coatings. Its unique mineral properties enhance whiteness, durability, and UV resistance—offering a sustainable alternative to traditional fillers and extenders.s.
ReSpar
ReSpar is a versatile mineral filler derived from Greenlandic anorthosite. Its fine particle structure and chemical purity make it suitable for plastics, rubber, and construction materials—improving strength, stability, and product life.
AnoRoq
AnoRoq is a coarse-grade anorthosite from the Qaqortorsuaq mine, ideal for use in mineral wool and construction materials. Low in dust, silica, and alkalis, it offers high stability, bulk handling ease, and consistent chemical composition.
Greenspar 2000
Greenspar 2000 is a high-purity, sand-like anorthosite concentrate designed for export. Free of dust and iron, it is ideal for micronized feldspar production used in e-glass, paints, polymers, and advanced materials.
PyroSpar
PyroSpar is a naturally fire-resistant anorthosite-based material used in flame-retardant applications. With high thermal stability and low alkali content, it supports safer building materials and industrial products without toxic additives.
