Modified Siliceous Earth

China Clay:

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.

As a general rule, The purer the sand, the clearer the products

Silicon and oxygen are the earth's two most abundant elements and together they make silica, one of the earths three most common rock forming minerals.

Akshar Minerals Silica sand is high purity natural crystalline silica. It is inherently bright, white, low in moisture and chemically inert in nature. Basically, It is made up of two main element Silica & Oxygen. Silica sand is made up of Silicon Dioxide. There are number of different uses of silica sand in the industrial and commercial sector, from golf courses to glass making .

The chemical formula of Silica Sand is SiO2

Characteristics :
High Purity
Weather Resistant
White Appearance
Naturally Hard
Controlled Particle size
Chemically Inert

Applications
Akshar Minerals Silica sand is used depends on physical, chemical and mechanical characteristics such as grain size, shape color, structure and distribution as well as refractoriness strength and stability. There characteristics can differ depending on how mineral is processed after it is mined. This product gets easily mixed and can be used for high temperature applications like flat glass, furnace tubes and many more due to its excellent thermal expansion, hardness. It yields improved durability and burnish resistance. We make for all type of application in the industries like Glass industries, Sodium Silicate Industry, Golf course & Sport Ground, Adhesive and sealant, Rubber industry, Texture Wall Paint, Sand Blasting, Agro pesticide, Cosmetic industry, Soap & Detergent, Filtration Media, Power Plant & Petroleum, Construction Chemical Industry, Plastic, Fertilizer, Paint, Ceramic, Insulation, Foundry, Ramming Mass, Steel Industry, Landscaping, GRC & GRP Industry, Oil & Petroleum Industry, Oil Exploration & Oil Drilling.

Diatomaceous Earth is a soft powder formed from the fossilized remains of diatoms (a type of hard shelled algae). Its unique in couple of ways-
It has a very high silica content (which is used to build hair, skin and nails)
It is very hard (Hardness of 7 on Mohs scale)
.
The FDA classifies Diatomaceous Earth (food grade) as generally recognized as safe and is commonly used in things like toothpaste, as an anti caking aid, for clarifying beer or wine, or to eliminate pests naturally.

Diatomaceous earths unique structure makes it a great natural way to kill insects and pests (including intestinal), gently cleanse the digestive system, and improve hair, skin, nails, and teeth.

The strong negative charge of diatomaceous earth means that it naturally attaches to and removes from the body things like: chemicals, viruses, bacteria, heavy metals and even radiation.

Its sharp\ strong structure allows it to puncture the exoskeleton of insects on a microscopic level, causing them to dehydrate and die (while humans and animals are left completely unharmed).
Diatomaceous earth (DE) is recognized as safe for human and animal use, and food grade DE is considered safe for human consumption, even during pregnancy and nursing.

Uses for Diatomaceous Earth

At our house, we use DE regularly to help avoid parasites, to get rid of pests like ants or fleas, and to help improve hair, skin and nails. I also personally know people who have used diatomaceous earth .

Calcined Pyrophyllite Lumps
Pyrophyllite is a member of phyllosilicate mineral spices, or Leaf silicates, which have sheet-like structure. It belongs to the clay family and composed of aluminium silicate hydroxide : AlSi2O5OH. The phyllosilicates from stacks of silicate layers that are composed to SiO4 tetrahedrons and the sheets are not directly linked above or below to the next silicate sheets.

In pyrophyllite, two silicate layers are sandwitched in between the so called gibbsite layer. Gibsite Al(OH)3, is its own mineral and is composed or octahedrally coordinated aluminiums surrounded by six hydroxides. The Gibsite layer (G) in pyrophyllite is identical to gibsiteâ??s structure except that four of the hydroxides are replaces by four oxygens from the silicate layer (S). The overall pyrophyllite can be imagined as stacked S-G-S sandwitches. The bonding between these sand witche is nearly nonexistent and gives rise to pyrophyllite's softness and perfect cleavage.

Pyrophyllite is also identical in physical properties to a quite distinct mineral called talc. The two are isomorphous, meaning they share the same monoclinic structure but have different chemistries. Talc has magnesiums instead of aluminums and is basically indistinguishable from pyrophyllite without a chemical test for aluminum. The test for aluminum involves applying a slight amount of cobalt nitrate solution on the specimen and then igniting the solution. The specimen should change color; a blue color confirms pyrophyllite, a violet color confirms talc.

Pyrophyllite is a mild mineral (hardness of 1.0 to 1.5 on Mohs scale) with pearly luster. It has lower the firing temperature, reduces shrinking and cracking, and improves thermal shock resistance.


Major application of pyrophyllite is in ceramics as talc counterpart, particularly in the manufacture of white ceramic products such as floor tile, wall tile, and electrical porcelain. Because of its PCE of 30 to 32 (moderate to high duty), pyrophyllite is used as refractory in brick form or monolith, other applications of pyrophyllite are as insecticide carrier and extender in paint, Filler in plastics, paper, rubber, and vinyl tiles.

Pyrophyllite when calcined are used in Engineering Ceramic products. While refined Pyrophyllite after calcination is suitable for paint application as an extender. At the same time It is most suitable as an active filler in Thermoplastics when micronized and surface modified.

China Clay is a naturally hydrated Aluminum Silicate. It is one of the most abundantly available clay in the Earth's crust. Pure grade of China clay or kaolin clay produced by the processes of levigating. China Clay is also called KAOLIN, it is one of the essential Raw materials for Ceramic Industries, China Clay does not swell on adding water & Alumina present in Clay do not form Isomorphism series with any other metallic compound.

Applications: -
China clay products are immensely used in the manufacturing of ceramics, papers, paint colors, vitrified tiles, soap, ultramarine and in various other purposes
