In ceramics, problems with raw materials are usually discovered too late – after firing, when the tile has already cracked, the glaze has pinholes or the white has turned slightly grey. That is why ceramic makers care so much about the consistency of their clay.
We supply kaolin and china clay to tile, sanitaryware, crockery and whiteware manufacturers. China clay is used in body formulations for plasticity and whiteness, while finer, brighter grades such as coating clay and Kaolite-90 suit glazes and engobes where colour and smoothness matter most. KCC Fines offers a very fine particle size for premium applications.
Supporting materials
- Sodium hexametaphosphate as a deflocculant for stable, pourable slips.
- PIDICRYL 6300J dispersing agent for high-solids slurries.
- Calcite and soapstone (talc) for body and glaze adjustments.
- Titanium dioxide for opacity in glazes.
We can supply clay in powder or lumps, packed in 50 Kg bags. Share your current clay specification and we will suggest the closest matching grade.
