APPLICATIONS
Ceramics
- White firing
- High kaolinite content
- Can be fired to high temperatures
- Good refractory properties
- Low fired shrinkage
- Fine particle size
- Contains no free silica
- Naturally-occurring clay mineral which is inert and harmless, even if consumed
- China clay pellets disperse easily in water with stirring
- China clay pellets mean low dust levels
- Water-washed china clay is soft and non-abrasive
- Pumps and machinery are not affected
