Notes

M-4 clay offers the insecticide dust manufacturer both economy and a high quality carrier and diluet. Consistent quality standards are maintained by selective mining methods at Industrial Minerals nearby Ione, California clay deposit.

High capacity roller mills operated with closed-circuit air separators insure customers of a continuing volume source of controlled, fine particle size, air floated clay. Outstanding M-4 poperties are excellent adhesiveness, low abrasiveness and free flowing qualities.

Physical Properties:

Moisture: 1.9%
Soluble Sulfates: .15%
Minus 325 mesh: 96%
pH: 5.75
Density, lbs per cubic foot: 26.1
Oil Absorption (spatula rub-out method): 40.4
Bulk Density (lbs per cubic foot): 26.1
