Introduction: - Feldspar is primarily used in industrial applications for its alumina and alkali content. Feldspar is a naturally occurring anhydrous, inorganic, igneous rock. The fusibility of the mineral makes it useful raw material for many applications and the purity is the indication of better fusibility in the application. There are two types of it depending On Na2O and K2O SODA FELDSPAR POTASH FELDSPAR Applications: - CERAMICS ENAMEL FRITZ & GLAZED INSULATORS GLASS MILD ABRASIVES PICTURE TUBES SANITARYWARE TABLEWARE VITRIFIED TILES WELDING ELECTRODE Available Mesh Size: - 100 - 500 MESH Custom sizes and Material of required specifications can be made in case of Bulk and Regular orders.

Kaolin also called as China Clay is nearly white in colour. It is distinguished from other industrial clays based on its fine particle size and pure colourings. Its ability to disperse in water makes it an ideal pigment. The primary constituent in kaolin is the mineral kaolinite, a hydrous aluminum silicate formed by the decomposition of minerals such as feldspar. Hydrous kaolin is characterized by its fine particle size, plate like or lamellar particle shape and chemical inertness. APPLICATIONS aints, Coating & Pigments Pharmaceuticals, Cosmetics and Medical Applications Plastics Rubber Ceramics Fibreglass Ultramarine industries Since several years CEMENTATION has been mining, processing and supplying Kaolin products from its reserves in India. Our products offer unique and specific geological characteristics that can be tailor-made to meet the changing demands of the markets that we serve. Our production or supply capacity is more than 150,000 TPA. Our laboratories are well equipped to meet the needs of the diverse markets we serve.

Kaolinite is the mineral that is derived from the rock called â??Kaolinâ?? and from there, it gets its name. It is also commonly known as â??China Clayâ??. Kaolin is mined from the regions of Gujarat, Rajasthan, Kerala, West Bengal and Jharkhand in India The physical properties of Kaolin include high brightness, non-abrasiveness, poor conductivity of heat and electricity and it has naturally fine particles. Kaolin remains white after calcination due to its refractory properties and can be easily dispersed in water. There are several variations within Kaolin such as Hydrous Kaolin, Metakaolin and Calcined Kaolin. We offer a vast range of Kaolin-based minerals to several businesses from paper manufacturing to porcelain tableware, paints, cosmetics, packaging, rubber and pharmaceuticals to name a few. We customize our minerals according to the needs of the industry of our clients. Hydrous Kaolin has fine particles with plate-like shapes and inertness in terms of chemical reactivity, whereas, Metakaolin is created by the process of calcination of Kaolin. It is a white mineral additive which is most popularly used in cement-based products. In contrast to this, Calcined Kaolin is manufactured by heating the finest natural kaolin to high temperatures in a kiln. This calcination process changes the size and shape of the particles, enhances the whiteness and hardness of the mineral and improves its electrical conductivity. Kaolinite is a clay mineral, with the chemical composition Alâ??Siâ??Oâ??(OH)â?? Various Industrial Usages: Kaolin is a very important mineral in the ceramics industry. Itâ??s high fusion temperature and white firing characteristic makes it perfect to be used in the manufacture of sanitaryware, tableware, floors & tiles and refractories. In the construction industry, kaolin is used to enhance the mechanical properties, porosity and look of several types of cement and concrete. It is also an impeccable source of alumina source in the manufacturing of fiberglass. Kaolin is used in paper manufacturing and fiber-based packaging also. Our Kaolin mineral enhances surface functionality when it is used as fillers or coating pigments and thus further helping in reducing the manufacturing cost of the paper or the packaging. Moreover, it is extensively used in decorative paints formulations as it is a natural opacifier and it is the perfect mineral when high gloss is required. Our specialized Kaolin also can be used as multi-purpose fillers to improve the performance of adhesives, plastics and rubber. We are extremely confident in our offering of Kaolin mineral as we understand how Kaolin can optimize the performance, reduce the costs and can achieve minimum carbon footprint in our clientâ??s end products

Specifications Products : Hydrous, Water Washed, Classified Use : Industrial Use Color : White to Super White Form : Lumps, Powder, Noodles Packing Type : Plastic Bags / Jumbo Bags Packing Size : 25kgs/50kgs/ 1000kgs Kaolin is a hydrated aluminium silicate crystalline mineral formed over many millions of years by the hydrothermal decomposition of granite rocks. It is a white soft mineral composed primarily Kaolinite mineral having chemical composition of Al2O3.2SiO2.2H2O with minor amounts of quartz, feldspar and sheet silicate minerals (mica, illite, smectite). Hard and soft clays are characterized by its fine particle size, platy or lamellar particle shape and chemically inertness. Clays having fine particle size are described as hard clay. Phyllosilicates being a sub group of silicate minerals that has typically less than 2um in diameter. The combination of platy shape and fine particle size results in improved processibility, improved reinforcement, tensile strength, abrasion and tera strength. After mining the above mineral ore is dressed, dried, pulverized, air-floated, water washed (levitated), calcined and surface modified. As per the application the grades are selected by the end user. The processing techniques at PEEKAY MINERALS ensures consistent quality, control of top-cut and average particle size and freedom from impurities at pocket friendly costs. Application & Features: Ceramics: China Clay is an essential constituent in Ceramics. It is used by almost manufacturer worldwide in Electrical porcelain, Fine China & dinnerware, Floor and Wall Tile, Roof Tile, Pottery, Sanitary ware, Tableware and other engineering products. The properties important for the use of China Clay in Ceramics are Plastic Properties, Drying properties, Firing properties, Firing Color, Electrical properties such as conductivity, dielectric content etc. Our clay permits product to be easily deformed under stress without rupturing and retains shape produced when stress is removed. Due to low water of plasticity, it does not require intense forming pressure to withstand handling/drying and the Green Strength is better. The Firing properties are excellent to produce super white finish. The processed clay is free from grits and all metallic impurities. The particle size is very low and even which keeps drying shrinkage in desired parameters.

Specifications Products Calcined Kaolin Use Industrial Use Color White to Super White Form Powder Packing Type Plastic Bags Packaging size 25kgs Whiteness: 90-94% Calcined Kaolin is an anhydrous aluminium silicate produced by heating hydrous china clay after water washing to high temperatures in a rotary kiln. The clacination process gives an increase in the original hardness of kaolin and alters the morphology of the kaolin particles completely. When calcination process is done at around 700 deg C, the dehydrogenate of the kaolin is complete, forming a partially crystalline meta kaolin. Fully calcined kaolin products with an amorphous structure are formed around 1000 deg C. Fully Calcined kaolins can be surface modified with functionalised coupling agent Silane to give a particle coating capable of chemically bonding with the polymer. After surface treatment the dispersion of filler is also improved. In view of the reduced surface activity, calcined kaolins give good reinforcement and permanent set properties, at the same time maintaining very good processing conditions. The processing techniques at PEEKAY MINERALS ensures consistent quality, low specific gravity, good whiteness and freedom from impurities at pocket friendly costs.
