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.
China Clay is a clay mineral with the chemical composition AlSiO3O5(OH)3. It is layered silicate mineral. It is soft earthy, usually white in color, produced by the chemical weathering of Aluminium Silicate mineral like Feldspar. Commercial grades of China Clay are supplied and transported as dry powder form, semi dry noodle form or as slurry.
Applications:
- It is used in Cer/bamics for body & glazing of Tiles and Sanitary Wares.
- In paper it is used as filler. It is also used for paper coating purpose.
- It is used in paint also to extend Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) and modify gloss level.
- It is used in rubber to enhance reinforcement properties.
Bizwhite Activated Clay is a highly active, low moisture granulated acid-activated montmorillonite with unique surface chemistry.
Bizwhite Clay Catalyst is included in the universal oil product duty specification for clay treating of BTX. BizWhite Clay Catalyst is developed for adsorption and acid catalyst in fixed bed reactors. BizWhite Clay Catalyst is a product designed with a highly porous inner structure. This results in an accessible active site for reactants and lowers diffusion limitation for by products.
Bizwhite Clay Catalyst is designed for Olefin removal from BTX. BizWhite Clay Catalyst works excellent for the selective removal of olefins from Benzene/Toluene and Heavy Reformate (mainly Xylenes).
China clay belongs to the group of Minerals called Kaolinite. It is one of the most common minerals. Kaolinite clay occurs in abundance in soils that have formed from the chemical weathering of rocks in hot, moist climates—for example in tropical rainforest areas.
Comparing soils along a gradient towards progressively cooler or drier climates, the proportion of kaolinite decreases, while the proportion of other clay minerals.

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.

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.
