| Multi-tasking
but customized |
For
several decades, Ashapura has been mining, processing
and supplying kaolin products, from its reserves in
Gujarat. On recognizing the high demand for this multi-usage
mineral and also the shortages of high quality kaolin,
the company has increased acquired new mine reserves
of about 2.5 to 3 million tons in the state of Kerala.
The quality of kaolin from Kerala is far superior in
terms of whiteness and other properties. Ashapura has
also set up a state-of-the-art processing plant with
200,000 tons per annum capacity in Kerala. The facility
will be able to produce hydrous/calcined kaolin clay
each of which finds usage in different industries.

Kaolin
has a range of applications which are grouped in three
main areas: paper, ceramics and performance minerals.
Demand is most in the manufacture of paper where it
performs two separate functions- as a filler to improve
printing characteristics and as a coating pigment to
enhance the surface properties of the paper such as
the brightness, smoothness, gloss and ink receptivity
etc.
In the ceramics industry the main function of kaolin
is to impart whiteness . Its major uses are in vitreous
china sanitaryware, table ware, wall tiles, electrical
porcelain…
Kaolin is used in refractories where it is valued for
its alumina content. Performance mineral applications
use kaolin as fillers in paint, rubber , plastics and
adhesives and sealants and pharmaceuticals. Other important
uses include the manufacture of white cement and glass
fibre.
