Clays and silicas

Posted by belassi on July 5, 2015 at 8:18 pm

If you’re interested, we will shortly (weeks) be offering a variety of clays and silicas of very high quality.

Clays include bentonite, kaolin, and others. Also micronized silica. We can prepare dry clay mixes to your specification.

Screen: 100 to 325 (325 is finest; like talc)

We can offer asbestos-free talc also.

Export available to USA and other countries.

Is this in response to Vanderbilt mineral’s shortage and refusal to take on new customers?

No. Nothing to do with that, and I was unaware of it until now.

On your Kaolin, do you have just white Kaolin or are you able to source red Kaolin as well? Thanks @belassi

Hello GC.

At the moment my contact is on holiday but he will be back on Thursday, I’ll let you know about the red. White is not a problem up to 350 screen, I know that. If you have a quantity in mind, PM me.

I sent you a personal message about this, OK?

Answer for the red kaolin: No.

Apparently red kaolin is simply white kaolin but has iron oxides in it. No therapeutic difference to speak of.

I have about 100 kg of the white kaolin at the moment. It is exceptionally fine, an American clay with very low silicate content.

Working with the white kaolin. This is nice. With water added it mixes into a cream that looks and feels just like clotted cream.

Belassi, who makes the white kaolin?

I believe it comes from a deposit in S. Kansas. I have about 100Kg of it and about 40Kg of Nepheline Syenate. I don’t know the name of the company but I can find out it you like.
