Bentonite is a clay mineral predominantly consisting of mineral Montmorillonite mixed with some related minerals like Nontronite and Beidellite. These are three layered Aluminosilicate with molecules of water between layers.Due to very fine particle size, this Bentonite shows extra-ordinary swelling capacity and bonding powers. These dierences mean that the Bentonite finds the most number of uses in various industries throughout the world.ApplicationsIron Ore PelletizingFoundryConstruction & Civil EngineeringDrillingPaper IndustryPharmaceuticalSoaps & DetergentsAnimal FeedCat Litter

Bleaching Earth is manufactured from the best quality, selectively mined and scientifically blended montmorillonite clays under stringent process controls. While making Bleaching Earth special care is taken in maintaining the important properties like absorptive capacity, acid properties, catalytic properties, ion exchange capacity and particle size distribution.ApplicationsPurification of Edible oil : Soya Bean Oil, Cotton Seed Oil, Palm Oil, Rapeseed Oil, Sunflower Oil, Rice Bran Oil, Corn Oil, Canola Oil, Olive Oil, Sesame OilNon edible oils: Fish oil, lard oil, Fish wax, and Waste oil / used oil, Aluminium rolling oil, Waste edible oil, Biofuel etcUsed as Clay Catalyst in petroleum fractionatingWax refining: Paraffin Wax, Vegetable Wax, Fish wax, Petroleum Jelly

Fly ash is a fine powder which is a by-product of burning pulverized coal in electric generation power plants. Fly ash is a Pozzolans, a substance containing aluminous and siliceous material that forms cement in the presence of water. When mixed with lime and water it forms a compound similar to Portland cement. The fly ash produced by coal-fired power plants provides an excellent prime material which can be used for different applicationsApplicationsPortland CementMosaic TilesHollow BlocksPaving BricksMine Fills

Micro Silica is a by-product of producing silicon metal or Ferro silicon alloys. Because of its chemical and physical properties, it is a very reactive Pozzolans. Concrete containing Micro Silica can have very high strength and can be very durable. Our Micro Silica consists primarily of amorphous (non-crystalline) silicon dioxide with 92% to 94% SiO2. The individual particles are extremely small, approximately 1/100th the size of an average cement particle. Because of its fine particles, large surface area, and the high SiO2 content, silica fume is a very reactive Pozzolans when used in concrete.ApplicationsCementReady-Mix concreteConstruction industriesAdvantagesAddition of silica also reduces the permeability of concrete to chloride ions, which protects the reinforcing steel of concrete from corrosion, especially in chloride-rich environments such as coastal regions and those of humid continental roadways and runways (because of the use of deicing salts) and saltwater bridges.

Silica Fume is an amorphous (non-crystalline) polymorph of silicon dioxide, silica. It is an ultrafine powder collected as a by-product of the silicon and ferrosilicon alloy production and consists of spherical particles with an average particle diameter of 150 nm.ApplicationCementReady-Mix concreteConstruction industries

Silica is another name for silicon dioxide SiO2, of which quartz is a specific latticed structure. So silica sand is quartz that over the years, through the work of water and wind, has been broken down into tiny granules. These granules can be used for many dierent purposes, and can be found in most non-tropical regions of the world.ApplicationGlassFoundriesConstructionCeramicsChemical IndustryWater Filtration and Agriculture

Soda Feldspar is also known as Sodium Feldspar which is generally a clean white mineral that sources sodium, alumina and silica along potassium and calcium. Soda Feldspar has melting range of 11000C 15000C. Soda & Potash Feldspar are interchangeable in glaze recipes but there are some dierences between them. Soda Feldspar melts better than Potash Feldspar and has a higher coefficient than the potash. Soda Feldspar is a volatile substance and has excellent moisture absorbent capacity due to which this compound melts when it comes in contact with atmosphere.ApplicationPaintRubberPlasticsAdhesive
