Mineral range
- Ball clay
Ball clays are prized for their plasticity, strength and bonding properties in wall and floor tiles. - Feldspar
Feldspar is the main vitrifying or fluxing agent used during the firing process of ceramic bodies. Imerys feldspar are a unique blend to maximum fusibility with white firing characteristics. - Kaolin
Kaolin’s high fusion temperature and white firing characteristics make it particularly suitable for the manufacture of tiles. Imerys offers a broad range of kaolin that includes plastic kaolin with exceptional pressing properties while maintaining an excellent fired color. - Wollastonite
Wollastonites are cost-effective, low loss on ignition (LOI) natural fluxing agents for wall and floor tiles where they improve mechanical properties in green bodies and surface finish of fired bodies.
