Miscellaneous
- Family: Kaolin
- Region: North America
- Mined At: Unspecified
- Raw Mineral: No
- Generic: No
Notes
6 Tile is an airfloated kaolin with bright firing properties yet highly plastic. It thus offers high green strength for superior jiggering and wet processing properties.
Particle size, % < 2 microns 54-65
Mean particle size (microns) 1.0-1.3
325 mesh screen residue, % max 1.0
pH, 20% solids 6.7-7.5
Strength (dry M.O.R.)
-psi 100% clay 900 min
Cone 10 absorption, % 5-8
Moisture, % max 3.0
Color (fired), cone 8 100% clay
-brightness, % MgO 80.3
-whiteness index 22.9
Color (fired), cone 8 50:50 clay/nepheline syenite
-brightness, % MgO 60.8

C.E.C. (meq/100 g.) 8.5
Formulations:
The following are intended as a general outline only. Proportional changes in spar, flint and kaolin may be necessary, depending upon forming and firing properties desired. All are designed for firing at cone 5-10.
