Originally referred to as FAST CAST, F.C. Clay is a secondary, coarse grained Georgia Clay with a particle size distribution approaching that of fractional clay. The chemical analysis is close to that of theoretical kaolinite. Uniformity, excellent color, low C.E.C., surface area, ease of dispersion and coarseness are notable characteristics. It is available in lump, dried, airfloated and slurry forms.

Kaolin
The purest of all clays in nature. Kaolins are used in porcelains and stonewares to impart whiteness, in glazes to supply Al2O3 and to suspend slurries. |
