- Mined At: Unspecified
- Raw Mineral: No
- Generic: No
Notes
Wilklay WC-5 is a clean, high quality, very white firing airfloated kaolin especially selected for the whitewares segment of the ceramic industries. The clay has very low residue, an intermediately fine particle size and high plasticity. It is an alternative to #6 Tile and Sapphire kaolin.
