Our highquality kaolin clay is a naturally occurring finely grained white to offwhite clay that is primarily composed of the mineral kaolinite AlSiOOH Sourced from premium deposits and processed under strict quality control this clay is renowned for its purity brightness and excellent physical and chemical properties It is a versatile material that serves a multitude of industries including ceramics paper paints coatings and more
Ball clay is majorly used as a basic material in the production of ceramics. They are fine-grained, highly plastic clays that are mostly used to make ceramic and sanitary ware. They are favored for their fluidity, unfired strength, and light color after firing
Some specialized ball clays can provide extreme whiteness to the products.
They are also employed as soil amendments in horticulture, refractories, polymers, adhesives, and sealants. We majorly source our ball clay mineral from the Bikaner region of Rajasthan.
The physical properties of ball clay are high plasticity and unfired strength, refractoriness, along with controlled residue.
The ball clay mineral has been an important mineral for the ceramic industry. We also use it in combination with other minerals. This leads to further enhancement of its properties and expands the usage of ball clay in many other industries. For instance, in sanitary ware, our ball clay mineral combined with Kaolin offers a cohesive advantage to the manufacturing.
Further, for tableware and crockery manufacturing, we mix our ball clay with kaolin, feldspar and quartz. This gives high enough plasticity and a great white tone to the finished fired product.
Ball clays are kaolinitic sedimentary clays that commonly consist of 20â??80% kaolinite, 10â??25% mica,
6â??65% quartz.
The plasticity and bonding properties of the ball clay make it the perfect mineral to be used in the making of walls and floor tiles. Ball clay is also used in producing electrical porcelain insulators due to its high insulating properties.
In the manufacturing of refractory bricks, we use our ball clay mineral which has high alumina content as binding agents. And, we can also use them as fillers and extenders in several industries such as plastics, rubber, pesticides, fertilizers and adhesives to mention a few.
We at Aryan Tiles have an enormous selection of ball clay minerals and with our thorough knowledge of how our ball clay mineral can be used in manufacturing and optimizing our customersâ?? end products. It is our promise to aid our clients with our technical expertise, dedicated customer support and the premium quality ball clay mineral to advance our customersâ?? end products
Types of Kaolin Clay Available for Industrial Use
We offer a wide range of processed and natural Kaolin clay products suitable for various industrial sectors. Our Kaolin is sourced from high-purity reserves and processed to meet industry-specific requirements such as brightness, particle size, plasticity, and chemical composition.
1. Kaolin for Ceramic Industry
Type: High plastic kaolin, ball clay blended kaolin
China clay is characterized by its fine particle size, high brightness and rheology.We develop fine and ultra fine grades of Hydrous Kaolin from our best reserves, for various industries including Paint, Paper, Printing Inks, Paper board, Rubber etc. China clay is a natural mineral found in partly decompo-sed granite, an igneous feldsparic rock. Chemically, kaolin is a hydrated aluminium silicate containing Al2O3.2SiO2.2H2O. Kaolin was first discovered in the mountainous province of Kiangsi, China in A.D. 500. The word kaolin derives from the Chinese character kaolin which means high ridge. It was first used by the Chinese to make high quality porcelain.
Backed by the rich industry base and experienced personnel, our company has been able to emerge as one of the eminent manufacturers, suppliers and exporters of Crude China Clay. Available in white, dark reddish, cream, yellow and reddish colors, this china clay is in a high demand across the globe. It find application to make sanitary ware, ceramic glaze, ceramic vitrified grades and refractory grade. The offered range is widely appreciated because of its accurate composition, purity and precise pH value. Our esteemed clients can avail from us outstanding quality of Crude China Clay at industry leading prices.
A member of kaolinite family, Ball Clay is renowned for its plasticity and green strength. They consists varying proportions of kaolinite, mica and quartz, with small amounts of organic matter and other minerals, and are commercially values because they increase the workability and strength of various ceramic bodies and have white or near white firing characteristics. Ball clay is processed to minimize the levels of coarse particles. This enhances better workability and higher strength.
Applications :
It forms a major part of many ceramic applications, including sanitary ware, tiles, table wares and to an increasing extent non-ceramic applications like functional fillers and advanced application for example technical ceramics.
Kaolin or china clay is a commercial clay composed principally of the hydrated aluminosilicate clay mineral kaolinite The commercial value of kaolin is based on the minerals whiteness and its fine controllable particle size
Kaolin has a range of industrial applications grouped into three main market areas Paper ceramics and specialty minerals
With our warehouses in Port Harcourt and Lagos we are positioned to effectively supply 2000-5000tons of Kaolin monthly
