Does anyone on the list have an accurate analysis for Alberta Slip that they
could post. I checked at the SDSU web site, but the analysis given there
does not have an LOI listed.

Thanks,

John Post

This mix is micropulverized. The black and yellow iron combination were intended
to help match the raw color of Albany. However we have switched to using red or
black according to supplies.

Because Alberta Slip is a blend of materials, we exercise excellent control over
consistency. The clay materials listed are from our quarries. The analysis of
Alberta Slip is calculated from the known analyses of the ingredients.

We are working on a section of our website to take you on a tour of the incredib
quarry sites and give tips of the use of this material.
