Red illite (Red Mica)
Red illite is a natural mineral buried widely across the Andong City and Bonghwa-gun regions in Gyeongsangbuk-do Province in Korea. It’s quite similar to sericite but compared to sericite, econite contains more mineral substances and germanium. Unlike sericite which has a light greyish and light greenish color, econite has a unique reddish color.
Also, compared to sericite, Red illite contains more silica (SiO2) and alumina (Al2O3) and various more minerals. However, it’s an eco-friendly mineral that doesn’t contain any toxic heavy metals like arsenic, cadmium and lead etc.
Red illite is buried in a hard form like red sandstone. Red illite is very rare minerals in Korea, and also one of the very rare minerals that is only found in a few countries worldwide.
Red illite Types and Uses
Red illite Ore Stone
Red illite is used for landscape stone, building interior and exterior materials, mud rooms, saunas, etc. Abundant far-infrared radiation and negative ions are emitted to facilitate blood circulation, relieve inflammation by suppressing active oxygen, and maintain a healthy and pleasant environment with antibacterial action.
Red illite Granule
Red illite has been widely used in various fields of soil improvement (agricultural soil), poor quality (sludge) improvement in farms or ponds, eco-friendly water permeable pavement for bicycle paths, trails, and parking lots, supplementary feed for livestock and farmed fish, organic equipment, ceramic filters for water purifiers and air purification, construction equipment, and has excellent functions such as abundant mineral supply, water permeability, water and air purification, and removal of harmful gases and odors.
Red illite Powder
Red illite is used for water purification plant, wastewater treatment plant, aquaculture farm, dam, lake, river, port/coast, water quality improvement agent, suppression and removal of green algae/red algae in rivers and seas, feed additive for high quality livestock growth and meat quality, atopic, skin beauty.
And Red illite is used as a raw material for cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, as a mixture for recycling sludge in landfills, etc. It is a natural eco-friendly new material mineral that has excellent water purification, adsorption and removal of harmful substances, and removal of harmful gases and odors, and does not affect secondary pollution or the natural ecosystem.

Red illite Characteristics
1. Water purification
It adsorbs suspended matter in water and purifies water by inducing flocculation and precipitation through electrical neutralization with suspended fine particles of positive ions because it has negative ions.
2. Soil improvement and rich natural mineral supply
It improves the fertility of the soil, improves root growth, and supplies abundant natural minerals.
3. Removal of harmful substances and odor
It is composed of a large amount of microporous(porous) material and has excellent adsorption, deodorization and decomposition ability of harmful substances and odor.
4. Contains rich mineral ingredients
It contains a large amount of minerals such as germanium (Ge), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Ma), and potassium (K) etc.
5. Emitting far-infrared and negative ions
It emits a large amount of far-infrared rays and negative ions, making it suitable for well-being building materials and health and beauty medical devices.
6. Antibacterial and bacteriostatic action
It has excellent sterilization and odor removal efficiency through bacteriostatic action against viruses/bacteria/fungi.
7. Heat retention, moisture retention and heat storage insulation function
It has a great heat and moisture retention effect due to its own function, and has excellent heat storage/insulation effect due to its low thermal conductivity.
Red illite Uses
Livestock Poultry Fish Feed Additives
Red illite is rich in natural minerals, so it not only promotes the growth of livestock and prevents malignant diseases, but also improves the growing environment of cattle, pigs, chickens, and fish farms.
• Disease prevention and immunity improvement
• Good quality meat and low cholesterol
• Improving conception/laying rate and promoting growth
• Low fat content and low mortality
• Prevent diarrhea and grow strong intestines
Barn odor removal and environment improvement
Red Illite is highly effective in purifying livestock manure and odors in livestock sheds.
In addition, it can be very effective in maintaining healthy livestock hygiene by emitting far infrared rays and negative ions to improve blood circulation in livestock and suppressing active oxygen, thereby relieving inflammation and having antibacterial effects.
AI, prevention of virulent diseases such as swine fever and hygiene management of livestock are key factors in the success of the livestock industry and are also tasks that we must solve.
Soil improvement and mineral supply
Red illite contains rich minerals such as silicon, calcium, potassium, magnesium, aluminum, and germanium etc. and continuously supply nutrients to the soil and has an excellent effect in changing acidic soil to alkaline.
Red illite promotes the growth of crops and prevents diseases, leading to excellent effects on agricultural environment improvement and crop development and growth.
Natural eco-friendly organic fertilizer
It significantly reduces the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and increases agricultural production and sugar content by activating roots and supplying large amounts of mineral nutrients .
Mixing Red Illite powder with compost or chemical fertilizers can help you harvest healthier, more nutritious, and tastier crops.
The rich mineral content of K-illite is essential for crop growth and has a significant impact on yield.

Eco-friendly pitching and playing fields
It has excellent pitching performance and pitching sustainability, and has excellent strength and durability.
It creates a pleasant environment by absorbing and decomposing exhaust gases and harmful substances through the emission of far infrared rays and negative ions.
It reduces the heat storage capacity due to its low density and enables the exchange of heat and moisture with the atmosphere, thereby reducing the temperature of the pavement surface and reducing the urban heat island phenomenon.
Barefoot Walking Trail & Park Road
It promotes blood circulation and metabolism by emitting a large amount of negative ions and far-infrared rays, thereby enhancing immunity, and its natural color reduces eye fatigue when walking for a long time.
Bike Road
It has strong water permeability and durability, so it does not cause surface loss or cracking, suppresses the generation of fine dust such as dirt, absorbs and decomposes harmful gases such as automobile exhaust fumes, and is safe due to its high slip resistance.
