Our Special Minerals
China Clay / Kaolin
Primary forming material for ceramic bodies. Delivers whiteness, plasticity, and controlled firing behavior.
Ball Clay
Provides plasticity and green strength to ceramic mixes, enabling complex shaping and reduced cracking during drying.
Quartz / Silica
Structural component controlling shrinkage and thermal expansion in fired ceramic bodies.
Feldspar
Flux material reducing vitrification temperature, enabling energy-efficient kiln firing and improved product density.
Featured Product
QTM CeramElite™ is a premium-quality washed kaolin developed for the ceramic industry. Processed through advanced beneficiation and quality control systems, it provides high whiteness, excellent plasticity, low impurity levels, and consistent firing performance, making it suitable for premium ceramic manufacturing.
