Levigated China Clay
MOQ 28 Ton · Seller will confirm final rate
Levigated China Clay is a water-refined, high-purity kaolin clay processed to remove grit, quartz, iron oxide, and heavy mineral impurities. It is characterized by its fine particle size, plate-like (lamellar) structure, exceptional whiteness, and chemical inertness. The water-levigation process enhances its plasticity, workability, and dispersion capabilities, making it an essential raw material across ceramic, paint, rubber, and specialty paper manufacturing industries. Key Characteristics & Applications: Ceramics & Sanitaryware: Imparts superior plasticity and dry strength to ceramic bodies, reducing shrinkage and cracking during firing while improving glaze finish. Paints & Coatings: Functions as a cost-effective extender pigment, providing opacifying power, improved suspension, film durability, and brushability. Rubber & Polymer Industry: Acts as a reinforcing filler that enhances tear resistance, tensile strength, and flexural properties in rubber compounds. Paper Coating & Fillers: Enhances surface smoothness, brightness, ink receptivity, and opacity in paper manufacturing. Technical & Commercial Specifications: Form: Ultra-fine Powder / Lumps / Noodles Color / Whiteness: Bright White (85% to 92% Whiteness) Particle Size / Mesh: 300 Mesh / 400 Mesh / 500 Mesh (Min. 98% passing) Moisture Content: Max 0.5% (Powder) / 7–8% (Lumps) pH Range: 6.5 – 8.0 Packaging: 25 kg / 50 kg HDPE bags or 1000 kg Jumbo Bags
