We hold proficiency in exporting and supplying premium range of Quartz. Quartz is the second-most-abundant mineral in Earth’s continental crust, after feldspar. Its crystal structure is a continuous framework of SiO4 silicon–oxygen tetrahedra, with each oxygen being shared between two tetrahedra, giving an overall chemical formula of SiO2. There are many different varieties of quartz, several of which are semi-precious gemstones. Quartz is a defining constituent of granite and other felsic igneous rocks. It is very common in sedimentary rocks such as sandstone and shale and is also present in variable amounts as an accessory mineral in most carbonate rocks.   Our range of Quartz Lumps is available in different particle size to choose from for our valued customers. Our quartz is very smooth, flawlessly crafted and finished made from excellent grade materials. This quartz is highly appealing and very efficient to install. The application areas of quartz we provide include Ceramic industries, Paint industries, Casting, Pottery and Refractory material, Glass, Chemical industries, Metallurgy, Architecture, Plastics, Machinery, Rubber. Clients can avail from us our range of quartz at very affordable range of prices.

Owing to our vast experience in this domain, we are also engaged in supplying Gypsum Powder. Gypsum is chemically known as “calcium sulfate dihydrate,” gypsum contains calcium, sulfur bound to oxygen, and water. Gypsum is available in two forms, viz, mineral gypsum and by-product gypsum. The mineral gypsum is mined from land deposits. By-product gypsum is obtained as by-product from different chemical plants. And we are able to supply both forms of gypsum. Gypsum plays a very important role in controlling the rate of hardening of the cement. Gypsum is added to control the “setting of cement”. If not added, the cement will set immediately after mixing of water leaving no time for concrete placing. Gypsum is used as filler in papers, paints, nutrient in growing yeast, insecticides. It is used in the manufacturing of cement, Plaster of Paris, fire proof wall boards for building construction, etc. Gypsum is also used in the agricultural process. Gypsum-treated soil has a lower bulk density compared with untreated soil. Calcium, which is supplied in gypsum, is essential to the biochemical mechanisms by which most plant nutrients are absorbed by roots. Gypsum improves water infiltration rates into soils and also the hydraulic conductivity of the soil. It is protection against excess water runoff from especially large storms that are accompanied with erosion. Use of gypsum can decrease wind and water erosion of soil. We generally offer volumes of gypsum with the following specification.

We are an eminent name, which is engaged in delivering Fire Clay to our clients. We are one of the well known Exporters and Suppliers of Refractory Fire Clay in India as well as in abroad. We are supplying all kinds of fire clay. It has few types like plastic fire clay, non plastic fire clay, semi plastic fire clay etc; besides, we can also supply every type of fire clay in lumps and powder forms.

Feldspar offered by our company is a natural and pure chemical compound, which is used extensively in porcelain manufacturing units. Feldspar, which is a naturally occurring anhydrous, inorganic, igneous rock, is a complex of aluminum silicate containing varying amounts of sodium, potassium, and calcium. Feldspar is by far the most abundant group of minerals in the earth’s crust, forming about 60% of terrestrial rocks. Most deposits offer sodium feldspar as well as potassium feldspar and mixed feldspar. The Feldspar we are supplying is widely used in the Ceramic industries, Glass industries, Paints & Coatings (Chemical Resistant Coatings, Anti-skid/Anti-slip Coatings, Pipeline Coatings, etc). Feldspars are primarily used in industrial applications for their alumina and alkali content. Feldspar is an important ingredient in the manufacture of glass and an important raw material as well, because it acts as a fluxing agent, reducing the melting temperature of quartz and helping to control the viscosity of glass. In the manufacture of ceramics, feldspar is the second most important ingredient after clay. They improve the strength, toughness, and durability of the ceramic body, and cement the crystalline phase of other ingredients, softening, melting and wetting other batch constituents. Feldspars also are used as fillers and extenders in applications such as paints, plastics and rubber. In tableware, feldspar gives a good fusibility for a product without defects. In sanitary ware, the use of feldspar within vitreous ceramic bodies is used to facilitate the optimization process.

Kaolin is a Hydrated Aluminium Silicate crystalline mineral (kaolinite) formed over many millions of years by the hydrothermal decomposition of granite rocks. Hydrous kaolin is characterized by its fine particle size, plate like or lamellar particle shape and chemical inertness. Kaolin, also called as China Clay, soft white clay that is an essential ingredient in the manufacture of porcelain and is widely used in the making of paper, rubber, paint and many other products. In its natural state Kaolin is a white, soft powder consisting principally of the mineral Kaolinite, which under the electron microscope, is seen to consist of roughly hexagonal, platy crystals ranging in size from 0.1µm to 10µm or even larger. These crystals may take vermicular and book like forms and occasionally macroscopic forms approaching millimeter size are found. Kaolin clay is versatile clay with unique chemical and physical properties that contribute to its skin health benefits. Kaolin clay has been traditionally used in caring, nourishing, and soothing different skin types. Kaolin clay works by reducing the production of sebum. This makes the oily skin to remains smooth and dry. Kaolin also comes in form of powder.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Ball Clay is a member of Kaolin family. It is renowned for its plasticity and green strength and hence it is widely used in ceramic and non-ceramic applications. Ball clay is a vital component in Ceramic manufacturing. Kaolin produces a very white color when it is fired, but used alone is brittle and weak and must be mixed with ball clay to produce a workable, malleable raw material. Ball clay is used in the manufacturing of Sanitary ware, Tableware, Wall and Floor tiles, Glazes and Engobes, Refractory clays, Construction ceramics, Electrical Porcelain Insulators, etc. Its non-ceramic applications include Construction industry, horticulture, agriculture and amenity industries, adhesives, plastics, sealants, fertilizers, etc. Our standard specification of Ball Clay is given below.
