Ball clays are secondary, sedimentary clays highly prized for their exceptional plasticity and binding strength. They are primarily composed of a complex mixture of kaolinite, mica, and quartz.

Because of their extremely fine particle size and unique organic content, they are highly cohesive. While they appear dark grey or brown in their raw state due to carbonaceous material, they fire to a highly desirable light or off-white color.

Acting as the "glue" in ceramic bodies, our premium Ball Clay ensures that materials hold their shape before and during the firing process, reducing cracking and improving the overall durability of the final product.
