Our Products

Four Mineral Lines Engineered for Ceramic Performance

Premium ceramic raw materials sourced from reputable mines and processed to meet international quality standards for glaze, frit, sanitaryware and large-format slab production.

01 · Opacifier

Wollastonite for Ceramics

Calcium silicate mineral with very low Loss on Ignition (LOI) — reduces firing shrinkage and improves dimensional stability in ceramic bodies.

W4J Highest transparency, high colour contrast — ideal for high-gloss polished tiles W 80%
W3 More opacity, less gloss — suited for bodies, sanitaryware, tableware W 85%
W101 Purest grade, lowest LOI — special frits, premium glaze applications W 87%

02 · Opacifier

Zirconium Silicate (ZrSiO₄)

High-whiteness opacifier delivering consistent brightness and long-term stability for glaze and frit applications in ceramic manufacturing.

03 · Initiative 2.0

Zirconium Replacement Grades

Next-generation cost-effective line — more stable and versatile than traditional opacifiers. 8+ years supplying 22%, 25% and 30% concentration grades to global manufacturers.

A30 Bridges synthetic zirconium & zirconium silicate — opaque applications W 80.0
25G Optimum glaze application — flawless, consistent surface finish W 75.0

04 · Flux

Potassium & Sodium Feldspar

High-quality feldspar grades for smooth, glassy textures and fast-firing glaze cycles. Essential flux agent in modern ceramic formulations.

K-11 Potassium feldspar — smooth, glassy texture for modern glazes W 80%
N10 Sodium feldspar — higher transparency, fast-firing cycles W 78%
