Our Export Variants & Grades

We cater to diverse industrial needs with our rigorously tested China Clay variants

1. Washed China Clay Powder (300 to 1250 Mesh)

  • Best For: Ceramic Tiles, Sanitaryware, Paper, and Glass Fiber industries.

  • Key Feature: Water-processed to eliminate raw grit and free silica. It provides excellent green strength and high aluminum content (Al_2O_3 > 35%).

2. Calcined China Clay (Premium Paint & Plastic Grade)

  • Best For: High-end Paints, Coatings, Rubber, and Cable Insulation.

  • Key Feature: Thermally treated at temperatures up to 1000°C to achieve a brilliant 90%+ ISO Brightness and near-zero LOI (<0.5%), serving as a perfect extender for Titanium Dioxide (TiO_2).

3. Washed Kaolin Lumps (Ceramic Body Grade)

  • Best For: International grinding mills and bulk ceramic manufacturing.

  • Key Feature: Cost-effective bulk shipments featuring ultra-low iron contamination (Fe_2O_3 < 0.7%), minimizing firing defects or yellowing.

FAQs

China Clay (Kaolin) Export

What types of China Clay (Kaolin) do you export?

We export high-purity China Clay in three major industrial forms tailored to our clients' requirements: Washed China Clay Powder (Available in 300 to 1250 Mesh) , Calcined China Clay (Premium Paint & Coating Grade with 90%+ Brightness), Washed Kaolin Lumps (Ideal for large-scale ceramic body preparation)

Which industries are your products most suitable for?

Our products are widely used globally across multiple sectors: Ceramics & Sanitaryware: For exceptional structural gloss, strength, and vitrification.

Paints & Coatings: As a premium extender to optimize opacity and scrub resistance.

Paper Industry: Used both as a high-performance coating element and filler.

Plastics & Rubber: To enhance tensile strength and electrical insulation properties.

What is your primary shipping port, and what are the logistics advantages?

Our primary loading and shipping gateway is Mundra Port (Gujarat, India). Because our sourcing partners are situated close to the Kutch mining belt, we enjoy a massive geographical and logistics advantage. This drastically minimizes Inland Haulage Costs (IHC), allowing us to pass the price benefits directly to our international importers.

Can we request a physical sample before placing a commercial order?

Yes, we encourage pre-order evaluations. We maintain a ready inventory of 1 kg to 2 kg product samples for air-courier dispatch. Importers can request free samples for localized laboratory testing to ensure the specifications perfectly match their industrial setup.

What is the typical iron oxide (Fe_2O_3) content in your Kaolin?

Low iron contamination is our biggest quality advantage. For our standard Washed Ceramic Grade, the Fe_2O_3 content is strictly below 0.65%. For our premium Calcined Paint Grade, it is maintained below 0.40%. This ensures excellent whiteness and prevents yellowing or surface cracks during high-temperature firing.

What is the standard packaging provided for international shipments?

To combat sea moisture during long ocean transits, we adhere to international packaging standards: 50 Kg double-layered HDPE bags 1.0 to 1.25 Metric Ton (MT) UV-stabilized Jumbo Bags with inner liners We offer both Palletized (shrink-wrapped) and non-palletized loading based on the importer's instructions.

Do you provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA) with shipments?

Yes, absolutely. Every single batch exported by Babhaniya Overseas undergoes rigorous laboratory testing. We provide an official Certificate of Analysis (COA) along with the shipping documents, detailing the complete chemical matrix (Al_2O_3, SiO_2, Fe_2O_3), ISO brightness, mesh residue, and LOI levels.

What is your Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)?

Since industrial minerals are best transported via ocean freight, our standard Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) is 1 Full Container Load (FCL), which typically holds around 25 to 27 Metric Tons depending on the packaging and port regulations.
