Product Overview

About Ball Clay

A fine-grained natural clay with high plasticity and strong binding properties, Ball Clay supports processing and performance across ceramic, foundry, paper and coating formulations. Its fine particle structure and good green strength help improve workability, forming, bonding, mould stability and processing consistency. In ceramic systems, it contributes to shaping strength and controlled firing behaviour; in foundry applications, it supports mould integrity; while in paper and coating formulations, it can contribute to surface quality, suspension and rheological stability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Important information about Ball Clay, grades and applications.

Ball clay is used in ceramic whiteware and sanitaryware to improve plasticity and strength in clay bodies, allowing casting slips and porcelain to hold fine detail and resist cracking.

Ball clay contains kaolinite plus other minerals such as illite and montmorillonite, giving it much higher plasticity and greater workability and shrinkage compared to pure kaolin.

Yes. Its plasticity helps bind refractory aggregates and imparts green strength, making it ideal for ramming and forming refractories.

We supply ball clay as dry powders, semi-moist noodles/extrusions, and wet filter cake, offering flexibility for various ceramic processing methods.

Store in a cool, dry place. For filter cake forms, keep covered to prevent drying—proper storage preserves plasticity and prevents carbonation.
