Mineral solutions for ceramic manufacturing

Sree Sai Mineral Industries supplies high-purity washed and calcined kaolin clay that forms the backbone of ceramic manufacturing — from everyday wall and floor tiles to precision sanitaryware and fine porcelain.

Our kaolin grades are processed to deliver the whiteness, plasticity, and controlled firing behaviour that modern ceramic producers demand, backed by an in-house quality laboratory and a Certificate of Analysis with every batch.

Why Kaolin

The role our kaolin plays in your ceramic body

Whiteness & Brightness

Low iron and titania content for a clean, bright fired body.

Plasticity & Green Strength

Consistent forming and reduced cracking during shaping and drying.

Controlled Firing Behaviour

Predictable shrinkage and vitrification across the kiln cycle.

Low-Impurity Consistency

Batch-to-batch uniformity verified in our in-house QC lab.

FAQ's

Ceramic Kaolin — Common Questions

Our mid-brightness washed grades (around 87–91% brightness, D50 4–6 microns) are typically used for wall and floor tile bodies, balancing whiteness, plasticity and cost efficiency.

Yes. Our highest-purity calcined and washed grades reach 92–96% whiteness with very low iron content, suitable for bone china, fine porcelain and premium sanitaryware.

We supply in 25 kg and 50 kg HDPE bags, 1-tonne jumbo (FIBC) bags, and bulk container loading for larger ceramic manufacturing plants.
