In spite of technological developments, the use of clay in electrical insulators endures. In fact, in recent years, there is a re-emergence of its popularity over other forms of electrical insulators. The properties of clay required are unique and not easily matched. In this regard, we continue to hava a strong foothold in this industry segment.

Benefits |
|
MAXUM®
Ceramic Grade Sodium Feldspar |
- Provides a consistently uniform source of alumina to speed the transition into the glassy phase during firing
- Low iron and high reflectance in Maxum help produce ultra bodies or bright, vivid colours without the need for opacifiers or additional enhancers
- Regulate the glaze melt viscosity for a smoother, more even glaze surface
|
|
QUANTUM®
Ceramic Grade Potassium Feldspar |
- Provides a consistently uniform source of alumina to speed the transition into the glassy phase
- Provides a higher total alkali contribution to strengthen and stabilise over a wide firing range
- Improve hardness, durability, modulus of rupture and other critical mechanical properties in all ceramics
|
|
STARCAST®
Glaze and Casting Kaolin |
- Improve casting rate and deflocculant response in traditional, automated and pressure cast applications
- Provide excellent suspension properties, stable viscosity and improved plasticity
- Suitable for traditional and highly automated casting applications
|
|
CERASIL®
Ceramic Grade Silica Flour |
- Reduce shrinkage during drying
- Develop a lattice-like structure that strengthens the body while providing an exit for evolved gasses
- Decrease thermal expansion and improve the glaze-to-body fit for greater craze resistance
|
|
SPECTRUMTM
Nepheline Syenite |
- Excellent stability in melting properties over a wide firing range
- Increases tensile strength and abrasion resistance
- Higher in alumina and more alkaline than most feldspars
