Mined at Ndebele Mining, providing the most competitive prices for this type of refractory clay. Known for higher plasticity in the refractory industry.
Key Characteristics:
SiO2 (>45%), Al2O3 (>33%), Fe2O3 (<3%), LOI (<13%)
Available at <8% Moisture Content (NPP 8%)
Another clay mined at Ndebele Mining. With the same chemical makeup as NPP, NPC is classified with air classifying technology that ensures that the mineral is mined finely.
Key Characteristics:
SiO2 (>45%), Al2O3 (>33%), Fe2O3 (<3%), LOI (<13%), 100#
Available at <1% Moisture Content (NPC 1%)
Mined out of Grahamstown, South Africa. Transported to our milling plant in Bronkhorstspruit, Gauteng.
Key Characteristics:
SiO2 (>65%), Al2O3 (>21%), Fe2O3 (<1%), LOI (<7%)
NMF has a noticable silica dioxide and low alumina content. The low iron content allows for a light off white colour post-firing.
Mined out of Grahamstown, South Africa. Transported to our milling plant in Bronkhorstspruit, Gauteng.
Key Characteristics:
SiO2 (>57%), Al2O3 (>27%), Fe2O3 (<1%), LOI (<7%)
It is praised for its white colour post-firing. Though not a ball clay, Moss is well known for its plasticity in ceramics.
A stone-like clay blasted and mined near Ndebele Mining. Known for higher alumina content.
Key Characteristics:
SiO2 (>50%), Al2O3 (>41%), Fe2O3 (<1%), LOI (<15%)
This clay is known for its high alumina and is used in the production of chamotte. Ideal for high temperature firings.
