Ball Clay - Plastic filler for ceramics, sealants & construction chemicals
Ball Clay is a natural, fine-grained clay with a high kaolinite content that impresses with its exceptional plasticity. It is used where malleability, bonding strength and high dry strength are crucial. Especially in ceramics, sealants and fillers, Ball Clay ensures structured, crack-free drying and optimum processing. Our qualities are bright, reliable and industrially processed - for reliable results in series production.
Ceramics
Ball clay is used in ceramic bodies to improve moldability and drying strength. It ensures uniform shrinkage during firing, prevents cracking and improves processing during turning, pressing and casting. It ensures high dimensional accuracy and surface quality, particularly in sanitary ware, tiles and technical ceramics. Its organic components burn without residue during the firing process.
Sealants & putties
In sealants and putties, ball clay ensures high stability and plastic deformability. It improves processing during manual and machine application. Its thixotropic properties help to prevent cracking and support adhesion to mineral substrates. Its natural fineness has a stabilizing and dispersion-promoting effect.
