Grades

Industrial Minerals grades

Each grade links to its own specification page.

Attapulgite

API 13A Sec. 12 Salt Gel

Salt water gel that builds viscosity and suspension in seawater and saturated brine, tested batch by batch against API 13A Section 12.

Oil & Gas Drilling Attapulgite

Catalyst Binder Grade

Fine, low-grit attapulgite that gives extrudates, beads and pellets their green strength and a porous, durable matrix after calcination.

Industrial Catalysis Attapulgite

Animal Feed Grade

Finely milled attapulgite used by feed manufacturers to bind pellets, keep premixes free-flowing and suspend solids in liquid supplements.

Animal Nutrition Attapulgite

Pesticide Carrier Grade

Sorptive attapulgite granules and powders that load liquid actives, resist dusting and help formulators produce uniform crop protection products.

Agriculture Bentonite

Sodium Bentonite

High-swelling sodium bentonite that hydrates into a low-permeability seal for liners, ponds, slurry walls and containment works.

Sealing and Environmental Applications Bentonite

Calcium Bentonite

Moderate-swell calcium bentonite with good absorbency and adsorption, used as a filler, carrier and absorbent in industrial and agricultural formulations.

Filler, Absorbent, Carrier Bentonite

API 13A Sec. 9 Bentonite

Sodium drilling bentonite tested against API 13A Section 9 limits for dial reading, YP/PV ratio, filtrate volume and coarse residue.

Drilling Fluids Bentonite

OCMA-Grade Bentonite

Finely ground OCMA-grade drilling bentonite tested to API 13A Section 11, with residue above 75 µm held at 2.5 % or less.

Drilling Fluids Bentonite

Foundry Grade Bentonite

High-swelling foundry bentonite that bonds silica sand into strong, permeable green sand moulds for ferrous and non-ferrous castings.

Green Sand Mold Strength Bentonite

Pelletizing Grade Bentonite

Fine, high-swelling bentonite binder that gives iron ore green pellets the strength to survive balling, handling and induration.

Iron Ore Pellet Production Bentonite

Fertiliser Binder Bentonite

Fine swelling bentonite that binds fertiliser granules and helps sulphur bentonite pastilles break down once applied to moist soil.

Agriculture Dolomite

Calcined Dolomite

Reactive light-burnt dolomite that supplies MgO to steelmaking slag, protecting magnesia-carbon linings and supporting slag control.

Refractory & Steel Dolomite

Dolomite Powder

Finely ground white dolomite with controlled residue and low iron, used as a functional filler and as a CaO–MgO source for ceramics.

Paints & Ceramics Dolomite

Dolomite Chips

Crushed, screened and graded white dolomite chips for terrazzo flooring, decorative finishes and landscaping.

Construction Dolomite

Burnt Dolomite

Dense, low-porosity dolomite clinker fired at sintering temperature for refractory linings, gunning masses and furnace fettling.

Metallurgy Cat Litter

Clumping Cat Litter

Fast-clumping sodium bentonite litter that forms firm, scoopable clumps, supplied as a base litter for brands and repackers.

Pet Care Cat Litter

Scented Cat Litter

Clumping bentonite litter with a fragrance chosen by your brand and dosed during production for a consistent, moderate scent.

Pet Care Cat Litter

Unscented Cat Litter

Fragrance-free clumping bentonite litter that relies on the clay itself to absorb liquid and hold odour inside the clump.

Pet Care Diatomaceous Earth

Filter Grade DE

A graded diatomite filter aid that builds an open, incompressible cake for clear filtrate at practical flow rates.

Filtration Diatomaceous Earth

Granular Grade DE

Screened diatomite granules that absorb oils and liquids while staying free-flowing, firm and easy to handle.

Adsorption Diatomaceous Earth

Insulation Grade DE

Calcined diatomite with low density and stable porosity for insulating bricks, boards and high-temperature backup layers.

Thermal Resistance Diatomaceous Earth

Agro Grade DE

Fine, uncalcined amorphous diatomite for carrier, anti-caking and mechanical insect-control formulations, subject to local registration.

Pest Control Bleaching Earth

Standard Bleaching Earth

An acid-activated clay for routine edible oil bleaching, balancing colour removal, filtration rate and oil retention.

Edible Oil Refining Bleaching Earth

High Activity Grade

A more strongly activated clay for dark crudes, mineral oils and waxes where standard grades need excessive dosage.

Mineral Oil Purification Bleaching Earth

Low Free Acid Grade

An activated clay with low residual acidity for oils that must be bleached without raising free fatty acids.

Specialty Oils Desiccants

CaO Desiccant

Fine, highly reactive calcium oxide that binds moisture chemically, preventing porosity in cured rubber and moulded polymer parts.

Rubber & Polymers Desiccants

Molecular Sieve Desiccant

Activated zeolite powder that adsorbs water selectively in pores of fixed size, without reacting with resin or polymer.

High-performance Plastics Desiccants

Silica Gel Desiccant

Inert, high-capacity silica gel beads that protect packed goods from humidity during storage and shipping.

Packaging & Storage Rheology Modifier

Solvent-borne Grade

Attapulgite thickener for solvent-borne industrial coatings, keeping heavy pigments suspended in the can and films in place on vertical steel.

Industrial Coatings Rheology Modifier

Waterborne Grade

A mineral co-thickener for emulsion paints and textured finishes, adding in-can body, spatter control and syneresis resistance alongside polymer thickeners.

Architectural Paints Rheology Modifier

High-polarity Grade

Salt-tolerant attapulgite thickener for adhesives, sealants and electrolyte-rich suspensions, where many polymers and swelling clays lose structure.

Adhesives & Sealants Organoclay

Solvent-borne Organoclay

Organophilic bentonite that gels aliphatic and aromatic solvents, giving coatings and inks anti-settling, sag resistance and stable viscosity.

Paints & Coatings Organoclay

Grease Grade Organoclay

Organophilic bentonite thickener for clay-based greases that keep their structure at temperatures where many soap-thickened greases soften.

Lubricants Organoclay

Drilling Fluid Organoclay

Organophilic clay viscosifier that builds yield point and gel strength in diesel, mineral oil and synthetic-based drilling fluids.

Oil & Gas Calcium Carbonate

GCC Standard Grade

Ground calcite filler with dependable brightness and controlled top size for high-volume construction, rubber and coating formulations.

General purpose filler Calcium Carbonate

GCC Fine Grade

Finely classified ground calcite for formulations where gloss, smoothness and mechanical properties depend on particle size.

High-quality paints and plastics Calcium Carbonate

PCC Grade

Synthetic calcium carbonate with high brightness and fine, uniform crystals for paper and premium coating formulations.

Paper and premium coatings Calcium Carbonate

Coated Grade

Hydrophobic, surface-treated calcium carbonate that disperses cleanly in PVC, polyolefins and sealants at high loadings.

Plastics and PVC Ball Clay

High Plasticity Grade

A fine, strongly bonding ball clay that gives sanitaryware slips the dry strength and casting behaviour large pieces demand.

Sanitaryware Ball Clay

High Whiteness Grade

Low-iron, white-firing ball clay that supports bright, clean bodies in glazed porcelain, double-charge and full-body vitrified tiles.

Premium Tiles Ball Clay

Standard Ceramic Grade

A balanced, economical ball clay for everyday ceramic bodies where workability and strength matter more than fired whiteness.
