Links to Other Materials
Miscellaneous
- Family: Kaolin
- Region: None
- Mined At: Unspecified
- Raw Mineral: No
- Generic: No
Notes
A material very similar to Pioneer Kaolin from Dry Branch Kaolin Co. It is classified as halloysite, which should mean that it would have a very high comparative fired shrinkage. However, its physical properties do not indicate it is significantly different than a normal kaolin.
This material is available in bulk raw or powdered to 100 mesh.
Trace Elements:
Ba 380 ppm
Sr 28 ppm
Y 48 ppm
Sc 23 ppm
Zr 350 ppm
Be 2 ppm
V 116 ppm
