Notes
The data sheet describes this as a ball clay designed to produce increased strength and plasticity in plastic forming and extrusion operations. VANTAGE clays are easily dispersed in water for direct slip make down by blunging. They are ideal for use in slurries, filter pressing and extrusion processes, mulling prior to extrusion, and spray drying. In all applications, the rapid pick up and equilibration of process fluids with these clays help minimize batching and blending time.
The VANTAGE series of ball clays are mined and processed under rigid Covia QIPSM statistical quality assurance programs. The result is consistent mineralogy, chemical and physical properties, predictable results in demanding refractory applications.
