Ball Clay Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Trends And Forecast 2014 – 2020
Ball clays are sedimentary (kaolinitic) and used in ceramic and pottery application. Ball clays comprises three dominant minerals; kaolinite (20%-80%), mica (10%-25%) and quartz (6%-65%). In addition, there are other accessory minerals and some carbonaceous material (derived from ancient plants) present in ball clay. There is a variation in mineral composition and size of ball clay particles thus, they have different characteristics.

REPORT DESCRIPTION<br />
<strong>Ball</strong> clays are sedimentary (kaolinitic) and used in ceramic and pottery application. <strong>Ball</strong> clays comprises three<br />
dominant minerals; kaolinite (20%-80%), mica (10%-25%) and quartz (6%-65%). In addition, there are other<br />
accessory minerals and some carbonaceous material (derived from ancient plants) present in ball clay. There is a<br />
variation in mineral composition and size of ball clay particles thus, they have different characteristics.<br />
The physical properties of ball clay vary hence used according in various end user industries. However, the general<br />
properties of ball clay includes; moisture content between 18% to 22% and are available in various colors, for<br />
instance, white, different shades of gray and brown, pink, tan, black and the shades in between.<br />

<strong>Ball</strong> clay has high plastic nature and has a higher binding power than kaolin. Furthermore, the tensile strength and<br />
shrinkage is better than other clays used for various pottery and ceramic application. <strong>Ball</strong> clay is utilized after mixing<br />
with non-plastic clay to impart the desired plasticity in pottery, porcelain and refractory materials. Additionally, ball<br />
clay helps in the preparation of glaze, enamels and for imparting a dense vitrified body.<br />
<strong>Ball</strong> clay is extracted by using mechanical equipment, hydraulic "back-hoe" excavators. It is one of the popular<br />
equipment used for ball clay extraction. Individual raw clay selections are blended carefully after its extraction by<br />
back-hoe excavators, according to pre-determined recipes to provide a product with a consistent and predictable<br />
range of characteristics and behavior. The first stage of ball clay processing is to shred (or ‘kibble’) the blended clay<br />
in smaller, and regular lumps. Much blended clay is sold in the shredded form; shredded ball clay undergoes the<br />
least amount of processing for further usage. Further processing of ball clay is through drying and grinding, it yields<br />
powdered plastic clays and ceramics manufacturers (particularly in the sanitaryware sector). Refined clays are<br />
available in ‘noodled’ and slurried form. <strong>Ball</strong> clays are sold in a partially dried form, which consist of golf ball size<br />
materials that are not powdered. Some of the key applications of ball clay include; sanitary-ware, tableware, wall<br />
and floor tiles, glazes and engobes, for refraction purpose, in construction ceramics and electrical porcelain<br />
insulators. Furthermore, it is also used in construction, agriculture, and amenity industries. In these industries ball<br />
clay is used as fillers and extenders in polymers, sealants, adhesives, plastics, fertilizers and insecticides. <strong>Ball</strong> clays<br />
are produced in relatively small quantities compared to other clays.

The increasing industry applications of ball clay, for instance, demand in tile market is further augmenting the<br />
growth of market. The demand of ball clay in construction industry especially in Asia Pacific and Middle East,<br />
followed by South America has led to increase in production of ball clay in past few years and the trend is projected<br />
to remain the same in next few years. In Asia Pacific the ball clay deposits are operated and developed in Thailand,<br />
Malaysia, China and Vietnam among other countries.<br />
Some of the key manufacturers of ball clay are, G&W Mineral Resources, WBB Minerals Ltd., Imerys Minerals Ltd, and<br />
Ashapura Minichem Ltd among others.<br />
