Product Snapshot
|
|
Product description
|
|
A high brightness (reflectivity) (77/100 raw, >93/100 calcined) kaolin, with 50% of particles finer than 2 μm, low alkalis (K2O ~0.72%, Na2O ~0.10%), low iron content (~0.34% after magnetic separation, potentially lower with bacterial beneficiation), low titanium (~0.26%), high alumina (~35.1%), high Pyrometric Cone Equivalent (32), and a well ordered, crystalline structure.

Product uses
|
|
SCM kaolin has excellent refractory properties, i.e. high Pyrometric Cone Equivalent (PCE), low alkalis, and high purity, allowing it to serve as a suitable raw material for refractory kaolin production.
