Refractory Clay

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.

Calcined Clay or Refractory clay is obtained by Calcining (heating) superior-grade Clay at high temperatures (from 850o C to 1600o C).

This removes moisture and volatiles which thereby increases the Alumina content.

Compared to an Alumina content of about 30% to 40% in raw Clay, Calcined Clay has an Alumina content of 40% to 60%.

The Calcination is carried out in Rotary Kilns at different temperatures ranging from 850o C to 1600o C depending upon the customer's application.

China Clay - Calcined Clay, Levigated Kaolin, Refractory Clay.

Kaolin (China Clay)

Kaolin is white, soft, plastic clay mainly composed of fine-grained plate-like particles. Kaolin is formed when the anhydrous aluminum silicates which are found in feldspar rich rocks, like granite, are altered by weathering or hydrothermal process

Quality of china clay varies from mine to mine in many physical aspects, which in turn influence their end use. Of particular commercial interest is the degree of crystallinity which influences the brightness, whiteness, opacity, gloss, film strength, and viscosity.

Uses : Ceramics, Paper, Glass&Silicate, Paint, Rubber, Refractory, Plastic, Sealants, Roofing, JointCompound, Drilling, Concrete, Catalyst, Agriculture, Adhesives, Ultrama rine Blue, Fiberglass, PVC Cable.

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
