Refractory Kaolin

AIMR’s calcined Kaolin (Chamotte) is considered an important constituent in the Alumina refractories manufacturing. Refractories are those heat-resistant materials which maintain their chemical and physical properties under thermal pressure and a high temperature (up to 3000° C).

Refractories are produced from mixture of compounds and minerals like alumina, bauxite, chromite, magnesium and Kaolin.

Refractory Chamotte Properties and Grade

Chamotte for Refractories properties

  • High alumina content
  • High melting point
  • Low water absorption
  • Low expansion upon heating
  • High plasticity

Refractory Kaolin Grades

AIMR provides different grades which are widely used in Europe in the refractories production. Reaching 40% Alumina from natural chamotte makes our calcined kaolin is the lowest cost of alumina unit ever. AIMR supplies different grain sizes like 0-40, 0-1,-1-3,-3-6, and 0-3 mm.

As the Alumina content Al2O3 in our Kaolin increases reaching levels up to 41% after it passes through an extremely high temperature in rotary kiln (calcination process) makes it the perfect binder Chamotte for refractories industry production with the lowest Alumina unit cost in the whole region.

Raw Kaolin

Both products are utilized in the ceramics and porcelain industries. Our raw kaolin boasts an alumina content of 36%; while after calcination this increases to right around 40%.

What is Kaolin?

Kaolin is essentially a white, clay mineral used quite often in the creation of porcelain and certain types of ceramics. Egyptian Kaolin especially,
is considered in its raw form to be quite hard and massive. Known also as China clay and Chamotte, this particular product is abundantly found
in Egypt’s Sinai ad Aswan regions, which is where we predominantly export from.

Raw and Processed Kaolin

Both products are utilized in the ceramics and porcelain industries. Our raw kaolin boasts an alumina content of 36%; while after calcination this increases to right around 40%.
