Ball clays or plastic clays are fine grained, highly plastic sedimentary clays, which fire to a light or near white colour. They are used mainly in the manufacture of ceramic whiteware and are valued for their key properties of plasticity, unfired strength and their light fired colour. Ball clays exhibit highly variable compositions and consist of a mixture, primarily of kaolinite, mica and quartz, with each contributing different properties to the clay. The crystallinity of the key component, kaolinite, has a marked influence on ceramic performance.

​

Ball clay acts as a binding agent and contributes to plasticity, workability and strength in a pre-fired ceramic body. Some are highly valued for their fluid and casting properties, particularly in the manufacture of sanitaryware. Ball clays are relatively scarce, globally because of the unusual combination of geological factors required for their formation and subsequent preservation.

We regulate a through quality control process and timely quality check procedure through a chain of quality control supervisors and sampling from random batches in our in-house lab, which helps us to provide our customer with the best possible quality. Buyers can approach us for acquiring top-of-the-line quality ball clay and save more than 25% from the current cost.
