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.

Bleaching Earth: We are a reliable industrial source for availing Bleaching Earth . Bleaching Earths have been used in the refinement of edible oils and fats since the end of the 19th century. Naturally-active Bleaching Earth has been used under the name of Fuller’s Earth since about 1880. Bentonite can be transformed into highly active Bleaching Earths by treatment with acid. We source Bleaching Earth from one of the leading producers, with manufacturing capacities in India, Malaysia, and Belgium. They use the unique filter less technology to produce superior and efficient Bleaching Earth for the Edible Oil Industry. Major Applications: - Purification of Edible oil : Soya Bean Oil, Cotton Seed Oil, Palm Oil, Rapseed Oil, Sunflower Oil, Safflower Oil, Rice Bran Oil, Corn Oil, Canola Oil, Olive Oil, Seasame Oil - Non edible oils : Fish oil, lard oil, Fish wax, and Waste oil / used oil, Aluminum rolling oil, Waste edible oil, Biofuel etc. - Used as Clay Catalyst in petroleum fractionating - Wax refining : Paraffin Wax, Vegetable Wax, Fish wax, Petroleum Jelly.

Bentonite as is a particular kind of clay derived from volcanic ash and consists mainly of montmorillonite with minor amount of illite, kaolinite, cristobalite and other minerals. Bentonite has strong colloidal properties and, when in contact with water, increases its volume several fold by swelling, forming a tixotropic, gelatinous substance. Main uses of Bentonite take advantage of these colloidal properties. The main characteristics of Bentonite is its decolorizing power, that is the property of the earth to absorb selectively certain pigments rather than others according to the characteristics of the product to be decolourized(acidity, oxidation degree, origin and biological state etc.) APPLICATIONS For Drilling Fluids Pilling Binder (e.g. foundry-sand bond, iron ore pelletizer) Purifier Electrical Earthing Agriculture Cosmetics, Paper, Paints and Ceramics Absorbent (e.g. pet litter), and As a Groundwater Barrier. We CEMENTATION acquire own mines for Bentonite in India. We supply Bentonite for industrial, manufacturing, construction and drilling applications. Our production or supply capacity is more than 250,000 TPA. At CEMENTATION a special attention is given while mining Bentonite as the materials physical and chemical properties are depended upon the interference of the other metal ions present in the soil. Once the material sourced from mines are transferred to our factory and are left for drying in an open land to reduce moisture up to the desired level. After the drying process and other checks are done our skilled manpower will do a sorting of the material and then after the material goes to pulverizes for grinding to desired mesh size and are packed according to customers requirement. Our laboratories are well equipped to meet the needs of the diverse markets we serve.
