Deep
industry knowledge and exceptional technical expertise have helped us
to acquire a respectable position as manufacturer, supplier and
exporter of Ball Clay. This is a kaolinitic sedimentary clay
and usually contains three dominant minerals like 10-25% mica, 20-80%
kaolinite and 6-65% quartz. Our offered clays impart plasticity,
workability and strength to the bodies in drying. In addition to
this, our offered Ball Clay finds its application in
manufacturing following products:
Sanitary
wareRefractory
productsBricks
and clay pipesElectrical
porcelain component

Other Details:BALL
CLAY : It is light to white in
colour and on firing may range from white buff. The main utility of
ball clay lies in its high plasticity. Ball clay, on the other hand, also
imparts high-drying shrinkage which is accompanied by a tendency
towards warping, cracking and sometimes even dunting.


Uses :


Ceramic : A Aca E ceramic
bodyAca a c for sanitary-ware typically includes 30% ball clay to provide
plasticity and workability.


Refractories : An ability
to resist the effects of extremely high temperatures makes ball clay
ideal for use in refractory products such as kiln insulation and
furniture.

Construction ceramics: Building
materials such as bricks, clay pipes and roof tiles all contain ball
clay.
Electrical porcelain insulators: Ball clays are used in
the electrical porcelain components provide insulation from high
voltage currents.
Non-ceramic applications:These include the
construction industry; horticulture, agriculture and amenity
industries; use as fillers and extenders in polymers, adhesives,
plastics, sealants, fertilizers and insecticides.
