Ball Clay
[ Al2Si2O5(OH)4 ]
An extremely rare rock, only found at a handful of locations around the world. It is particularly valued as a base material in the manufacture of ceramics.
The Sculptor's Medium: Versatility in Form
Ball clay is one of the finest high-plasticity sedimentary clays found at only a handful of locations worldwide. Its exceptionally fine kaolinite particle size, combined with high organic content and low iron oxide levels, makes it the preferred ceramic raw material for manufacturers who demand superior surface finish and fired whiteness. Its unique geological composition produces a material unlike any other. As a key ingredient in floor tiles, wall tiles, and sanitaryware, ball clay delivers the binding strength and workability that mass ceramic production depends on — enabling high-speed forming with minimal warping or defects.
