Ceramic Grade refers to raw materials, additives, and chemicals that meet stringent purity and performance standards required for the production of ceramics, glass, and related advanced materials. These substances are carefully selected and processed to ensure consistency in composition, particle size, and reactivity, which are critical for achieving desired properties in the final ceramic product—such as strength, thermal stability, electrical insulation, or optical clarity. Key ceramic-grade materials include high-purity alumina, silica, zirconia, kaolin, feldspar, and specialized fluxes or binders. They must have controlled levels of impurities (e.g., iron oxides or alkali metals) that could affect sintering behavior, color, or structural integrity. Some advanced applications (like electronic ceramics or bioceramics) demand ultra-fine powders with precise particle size distributions. Their formulation and processing adhere to industry-specific standards to ensure reproducibility and performance in high-temperature firing or other manufacturing steps.
Kaolin is a naturally occurring, fine white clay mineral primarily composed of kaolinite. It features a soft, powdery texture and excellent absorbency. Kaolin is widely used across ceramics, paper, rubber, paint, and cosmetics industries due to its chemical inertness, whiteness, and plasticity. It acts as a filler, coating agent, and extender to enhance product quality and performance.
Magnesium Carbonate Light is a fine, white, odorless powder primarily composed of magnesium carbonate (MgCO₃). It is characterized by its light texture and high purity. This mineral compound is widely used across various industries due to its excellent absorption properties, mild alkalinity, and non-toxic nature. Magnesium Carbonate Light is commonly employed as an antacid, drying agent, filler, and flow aid in food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial applications.
Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) is a naturally occurring oxide of titanium known for its exceptional brightness and high refractive index. It is one of the most widely used white pigments in the world due to its excellent opacity, UV resistance, and chemical stability. Available in various crystalline forms—mainly rutile and anatase—it is used across numerous industries including paints, plastics, paper, cosmetics, and food. Industrial grades are often surface-treated to enhance performance in specific applications.
Zinc Oxide USP is an inorganic white powder composed primarily of ZnO. It is widely used as a functional additive in rubber, ceramics, glass, paints, and chemical industries. Known for its excellent chemical stability, UV-absorbing capability, and reactivity with acids and alkalis, this grade is tailored for industrial applications where high purity is not mandatory but consistent quality and performance are essential.
