  • Use cases Industrial Minerals

    Kaolin – Essential for Ceramics, Tile, AAC, and White Cement

    Kaolin, also known as china clay, is one of the most versatile industrial minerals due to its fine particle size, high brightness, and excellent dispersion properties. It is widely used in:

    • Ceramics and Tile Industry – Kaolin is a fundamental ingredient in porcelain, ceramic tiles, and sanitary ware, contributing to their workability, plasticity, and strength. It enhances surface smoothness and improves the quality of final ceramic products.
    • AAC (Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) Production – Kaolin is a key raw material in AAC block manufacturing, providing lightweight, insulating, and high-strength properties, making it an essential component in sustainable and energy-efficient construction.
    • White Cement Production – Kaolin is highly valued in white cement manufacturing, where its low iron content and bright white finish make it ideal for decorative concrete, architectural applications, and high-end construction projects.
    • Paper, Paints, and Coatings – Kaolin improves opacity, brightness, and smoothness in paper production and enhances durability and coverage in paints and coatings.
    • Plastics and Rubber – It acts as a reinforcing filler, improving mechanical properties and increasing durability.

    Silica (Quartz Sand) – High-Purity Industrial Sand

    • Silica, commonly known as quartz sand, is an essential mineral in numerous industrial processes due to its hardness, chemical stability, and high-temperature resistance. It is widely used in:
    • Glass Manufacturing – As the primary raw material for flat glass, container glass, optical glass, and fiberglass, silica ensures clarity, durability, and resistance to environmental factors.
    • Construction Materials – Used in concrete, cement, and mortars, silica enhances compressive strength and longevity, making it a vital material in infrastructure projects.
    • Semiconductor & Electronics Industry – High-purity silica is used in the production of silicon wafers for semiconductors, solar panels, and high-tech electronics.
    • Oil & Gas Extraction (Fracking Sand) – Silica plays a key role in hydraulic fracturing (fracking), enhancing the efficiency of oil and gas extraction.
    • Abrasives and Industrial Coatings – Used in grinding, polishing, and sandblasting, silica helps achieve precision finishes in metal and glass applications.

    Feldspar – A Key Component in Glass and Ceramics

    • Feldspar is a crucial industrial mineral known for its ability to act as a flux in high-temperature processes, reducing melting points and improving the workability of materials. It is extensively used in:
    • Glass Manufacturing – Feldspar improves the strength, clarity, and chemical durability of glass products, including bottles, windows, and fiberglass.
    • Ceramic and Tile Production – It enhances the hardness, stability, and vitrification of ceramic bodies, making it essential for porcelain, sanitary ware, and tiles.
    • Paints, Plastics, and Rubber – As a filler material, feldspar enhances weather resistance, impact strength, and color stability in coatings and plastic products.

    Limestone – A Fundamental Industrial and Construction Material

    • Limestone is one of the most widely used industrial minerals, essential in:

       

    • Cement and Concrete Manufacturing – It serves as the primary ingredient in Portland cement, improving strength, durability, and environmental resistance.
    • Steel and Metallurgy – Used as a fluxing agent to remove impurities during steel production.
    • Agriculture – Helps neutralize soil acidity and enhance crop productivity.
    • Water Treatment & Chemical Processing – Essential in pH control and industrial purification processes.

    Other Industrial Minerals We Supply

    • Dolomite – Used in steel production, agriculture, and glass manufacturing.
    • Bentonite – Essential for drilling fluids, foundry casting, and environmental sealing.
