Expanded clay is a lightweight porous building material obtained by firing clay or shale. Expanded clay gravel has an oval shape. Expanded clay rubble differs only in that its grains are mostly cubic in shape with sharp edges and corners. It is also produced in the form of sand - expanded clay sand.
Depending on the mode of processing of clay or slate, it is possible to obtain expanded clay of various bulk density (volumetric weight) - from 350 to 600 kg/mâ³ and above.
Used as a heater in the form of backfill, as well as for the production of lightweight concrete - expanded clay concrete. Expanded clay is also used in agriculture and hydroponics; it is used in domestic floriculture and as part of the soil in terrariums.
Expanded clay, whose price is at a very affordable level, not only for construction organizations, but also for individuals, is in high demand. Due to its unique properties this building material is most in demand as:
Economical insulation, used for walls, floors, ceilings, basements;
Filler for lightweight concrete;
Decorative material, allowing ensuring proper thermal insulation of soil and lawns;
Drainage and thermal insulation material for earth embankments of roads, the laying of which is carried out in water-saturated soils.

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. We at Aryan Tiles have an enormous selection of ball clay minerals and with our thorough knowledge of how our ball clay mineral can be used in manufacturing and optimizing our customersâ?? end products. It is our promise to aid our clients with our technical expertise, dedicated customer support and the premium quality ball clay mineral to advance our customersâ?? end products

In the complex and demanding world of oil and gas exploration, drilling bentonite emerges as an indispensable ally. This natural clay, enriched with montmorillonite, offers unmatched properties that enhance drilling efficiency, ensure environmental safety, and reduce operation costs. Our premium drilling bentonite is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of the drilling industry, delivering performance that surpasses conventional drilling fluids. What is Drilling Bentonite? Drilling bentonite is a specialized form of bentonite clay that has been optimized for use in drilling operations. Sourced from high-quality deposits, our bentonite undergoes a meticulous process of extraction and refinement to ensure it delivers superior performance. Primarily composed of montmorillonite, our drilling bentonite features a unique combination of minerals that contribute to its exceptional swelling, sealing, and stabilizing properties. Chemical and Physical Properties The excellence of drilling bentonite lies in its chemical composition and physical attributes. With a formula of Al2H2Na2O13Si4, it showcases a robust structure ideal for drilling applications. It possesses a high swelling capacity which allows it to expand and form a gel-like consistency when mixed with water. This characteristic ensures the formation of a thick filter cake that effectively seals the boreholes, preventing fluid loss and stabilizing the wellbore. Superior Drilling Efficiency Our drilling bentonite enhances the efficiency of drilling operations by offering superior lubrication, exceptional fluid loss control, and effective cuttings removal. Its rheological properties ensure that the drilling fluid maintains a low viscosity at high flow rates, improving the removal of cuttings and reducing the risk of borehole instability. Furthermore, its high yield point increases the carrying capacity of the fluid, allowing for the suspension and transport of larger quantities of cuttings at lower pump pressures. Applications in Various Drilling Scenarios Our drilling bentonite is versatile and can be adapted to various drilling scenarios, including: Vertical Drilling: Enhances drilling speed and efficiency while maintaining borehole stability. Horizontal and Directional Drilling: Provides superior rheological properties that ensure the smooth steering of the drill bit through complex geological formations. High-Pressure High-Temperature (HPHT) Wells: Resists thermal degradation and maintains its sealing and lubricating properties under extreme conditions.
