Quartz is one of the most well – known minerals on the earth with numerous uses. Sand, which is composed of tiny quartz pebbles, is the primary ingredient for the manufacture of glass. It is also used as an abrasive for sandblasting, grinding glass and cutting of soft stones. Quartz powder is also used in ceramic tiles along with feldspar.

Ball Clay a member of kaolinite family, is renowned for its plasticity and green strength, and as such it forms a major part of many ceramic applications, including Sanitary ware, Tiles, Tablewares and to an increasing extent non-ceramic applications like functional fillers and advanced application for example technical ceramics.
They consist varying proportions of kaolinite, mica and quartz, with small amounts of organic matter and other minerals and commercially valuable because they increase the workability and strength of various ceramic bodies and have white or near white firing characteristics.
