FAQ's

Fiberglass Kaolin — Common Questions

Kaolin supplies alumina and silica in a single, consistent mineral input, helping control melt viscosity and improving the strength and durability of the drawn glass fibers.

Our SS-FG 300 and SS-FG 400 grades, with higher alumina content and low iron, are typically recommended for E-glass fiber reinforcement and technical fiber applications.

We supply in 25 kg and 50 kg HDPE bags, 1-tonne jumbo (FIBC) bags, and bulk container loading for continuous fiberglass furnace operations.
