Specifications Products : Siliceous Earth Diatomite Use : Industrial Use Color : White Form : Powder, Super Fine Mesh Powder Packing Type : Plastic Bags Packing Size : 25kgs Sio2 : 75 to 90% Diatomaceous Earth is a soft powder formed from the fossilized remains of diatoms (a type of hard shelled algae). Its unique in couple of ways- It has a very high silica content (which is used to build hair, skin and nails) It is very hard (Hardness of 7 on Mohs scale) . The FDA classifies Diatomaceous Earth (food grade) as generally recognized as safe and is commonly used in things like toothpaste, as an anti caking aid, for clarifying beer or wine, or to eliminate pests naturally. Diatomaceous earths unique structure makes it a great natural way to kill insects and pests (including intestinal), gently cleanse the digestive system, and improve hair, skin, nails, and teeth. The strong negative charge of diatomaceous earth means that it naturally attaches to and removes from the body things like: chemicals, viruses, bacteria, heavy metals and even radiation. Its sharp\ strong structure allows it to puncture the exoskeleton of insects on a microscopic level, causing them to dehydrate and die (while humans and animals are left completely unharmed). Diatomaceous earth (DE) is recognized as safe for human and animal use, and food grade DE is considered safe for human consumption, even during pregnancy and nursing. Uses for Diatomaceous Earth At our house, we use DE regularly to help avoid parasites, to get rid of pests like ants or fleas, and to help improve hair, skin and nails. I also personally know people who have used diatomaceous earth .

Specifications Products : Pyrophyllite Use : Industrial Use Color : Off White to White Form : Lumps,Powder, Grains & Calcined Packing Type : Pastic Bags Packing Size : 25kgs /50kgs Calcined Pyrophyllite Lumps Pyrophyllite is a member of phyllosilicate mineral spices, or Leaf silicates, which have sheet-like structure. It belongs to the clay family and composed of aluminium silicate hydroxide : AlSi2O5OH. The phyllosilicates from stacks of silicate layers that are composed to SiO4 tetrahedrons and the sheets are not directly linked above or below to the next silicate sheets. In pyrophyllite, two silicate layers are sandwitched in between the so called gibbsite layer. Gibsite Al(OH)3, is its own mineral and is composed or octahedrally coordinated aluminiums surrounded by six hydroxides. The Gibsite layer (G) in pyrophyllite is identical to gibsiteâ??s structure except that four of the hydroxides are replaces by four oxygens from the silicate layer (S). The overall pyrophyllite can be imagined as stacked S-G-S sandwitches. The bonding between these sand witche is nearly nonexistent and gives rise to pyrophyllite's softness and perfect cleavage. Pyrophyllite is also identical in physical properties to a quite distinct mineral called talc. The two are isomorphous, meaning they share the same monoclinic structure but have different chemistries. Talc has magnesiums instead of aluminums and is basically indistinguishable from pyrophyllite without a chemical test for aluminum. The test for aluminum involves applying a slight amount of cobalt nitrate solution on the specimen and then igniting the solution. The specimen should change color; a blue color confirms pyrophyllite, a violet color confirms talc. Pyrophyllite is a mild mineral (hardness of 1.0 to 1.5 on Mohs scale) with pearly luster. It has lower the firing temperature, reduces shrinking and cracking, and improves thermal shock resistance. Major application of pyrophyllite is in ceramics as talc counterpart, particularly in the manufacture of white ceramic products such as floor tile, wall tile, and electrical porcelain. Because of its PCE of 30 to 32 (moderate to high duty), pyrophyllite is used as refractory in brick form or monolith, other applications of pyrophyllite are as insecticide carrier and extender in paint, Filler in plastics, paper, rubber, and vinyl tiles. Pyrophyllite when calcined are used in Engineering Ceramic products. While refined Pyrophyllite after calcination is suitable for paint application as an extender. At the same time It is most suitable as an active filler in Thermoplastics when micronized and surface modified.

It is a white soft mineral composed primarily Kaolinite mineral having chemical composition of Al2O3.2SiO2.2H2O with minor amounts of quartz, feldspar and sheet silicate minerals (mica, illite, smectite). Hard and soft clays are characterized by its fine particle size, platy or lamellar particle shape and chemically inertness. Clays having fine particle size are described as hard clay. Phyllosilicates being a sub group of silicate minerals that has typically less than 2um in diameter. The combination of platy shape and fine particle size results in improved processibility, improved reinforcement, tensile strength, abrasion and tera strength. After mining the above mineral ore is dressed, dried, pulverized, air-floated, water washed (levitated), calcined and surface modified. As per the application the grades are selected by the end user.

Specifications Products Calcined Kaolin Use Industrial Use Color White to Super White Form Powder Packing Type Plastic Bags Packaging size 25kgs Whiteness: 90-94% Calcined Kaolin is an anhydrous aluminium silicate produced by heating hydrous china clay after water washing to high temperatures in a rotary kiln. The clacination process gives an increase in the original hardness of kaolin and alters the morphology of the kaolin particles completely. When calcination process is done at around 700 deg C, the dehydrogenate of the kaolin is complete, forming a partially crystalline meta kaolin. Fully calcined kaolin products with an amorphous structure are formed around 1000 deg C. Fully Calcined kaolins can be surface modified with functionalised coupling agent Silane to give a particle coating capable of chemically bonding with the polymer. After surface treatment the dispersion of filler is also improved. In view of the reduced surface activity, calcined kaolins give good reinforcement and permanent set properties, at the same time maintaining very good processing conditions. The processing techniques at PEEKAY MINERALS ensures consistent quality, low specific gravity, good whiteness and freedom from impurities at pocket friendly costs.
