Silica Sand is one of the most common varieties of sand available all over the world. Different composition and qualities of sand as found are as per the deposits in the area. We are offering different sizes of Silica sand in granules form, these grades are used for different applications. Applications : Glass Making Foundry Casting Ceramics Water Filtration Chemical, Adhesive Refractory Abrasive Sandblasting White Cement

Raw Magnesite is used as a flux in the ceramic batch formula to improve mechanical properties, decrease water absorption and required firing peak temperature. Another important outlet of Magnesium Carbonate is as a panel engobe ingredient to impart refractoriness and prevent the tiles from sticking on the kiln rollers at high temperatures. Finally, Magnesium Carbonate is used as a glaze ingredient.

We are offering bentonite of foundry grade.

Due to bentonite’s water absorption capacity and colloidal properties, bentonite is used as binding additives to convert iron ore fines to pallets. Fine powder helps in to develop good strength pallets. Even at lower additions develops excellent green and dry ball strength. Better binding strength is maintained before and after firing of pallets. High absorption capacity enables to build bond of pallets and prevent caking or clumping.

Kaolin serves as a valuable component in ceramics, Porcelain and Tableware. Its color, gloss and hardness are ideal characteristics for such products.Kaolin is used extensively in the ceramic industry, where its high fusion temperature and white burning characteristics makes it particularly suitable for the manufacture of ceramics, porcelain, tableware and refractories. In the manufacture of white ware the kaolin is usually mixed with other minerals. These components are necessary to obtain the proper properties of plasticity, shrinkage, vitrification, etc., for forming and firing the ware.Kaolin is generally used alone in the manufacture of refractories.

Kaolin / Chinaclay have an ancient use as a skincare product. Kaolin’s absorbent property allows it to pull oils and dirt out of the skin. It is commonly used in clay masks or as an additive to baths to sooth the skin. Fine Powder allows to absorbs oil and reduce greasiness, depending on as they are formulated. Fine kaolin powder is important ingredients used for composition of sun screen lotion.

Kaolin is also used as an extender and flattening agent in paints. It is mainly used in architectural water-based paints and industrial coatings. The fine particle size distribution, surface charge and platy structure of kaolin enhances the functional properties of paint film like opacity and gloss, It also improves the anti-settling and rheology properties of paint. The regular grade kaolin are used as functional filler in high and medium PVC water based paint.

Kaolin is used for filling rubber to improve its mechanical strength and resistance to abrasion. For this purpose, the clay used must be extremely pure kaolin and exceedingly fine grained.

The primary use of kaolin is in the paper industry as a paper coating which improves appearance by contributing to brightness, smoothness and gloss.  It also improves printability.  Additionally, it is used by the paper industry as an filler reducing cost and the use of tree-based resources.It is frequently used in adhesives for paper to control the penetration into the paper.
