These are bags from three recent truckloads of 880 bags each. Order-delivery delays are getting longer and longer as the fibreglass industry is making more and more demands on kaolin suppliers. This means we have to store this material in larger quantities and for longer periods than in the past. And we must be more diligent in testing for consistency because manufacturers are catering to fibreglass instead of ceramics. When this is coupled with the decline of ceramic manufacturing in North America it means maintaining and documenting the properties important to ceramics are becoming less important to kaolin manufacturers.
