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
|
|
OPALBLENDTM Englobe Clays |
- Fully refined ball clay blends
- With low residues and easy dispersion giving high process performance
- Designed to yield excellent high plasticity, clean fired colour and stable rheology
|
|
EXCELCASTTM Ceramic Casting Clays |
- Improve casting rate and rheology in traditional, automated and pressure cast applications
- Provide excellent suspension properties, stable viscosity and improved plasticity
- Excellent suspension properties and fired colour, well suited for most industrial whiteware ceramics
|
|
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
