Description
Ceramic Grade Bentonite
Hermano Ceramic Grade Bentonite is a natural clay mineral used in ceramic body preparation and related ceramic processing. With suitable grade selection and dosage, it can improve plasticity, green strength, binding performance and suspension stability in ceramic formulations.
Our bentonite can be supplied in natural, sodium-activated or customized grades according to the raw materials, production process and performance requirements of different ceramic manufacturers.
Typical Ceramic Applications
Ceramic tiles and wall tiles
Sanitaryware and bathroom ceramics
Tableware, porcelain and household ceramics
Technical ceramic bodies
Ceramic bricks and extruded ceramic products
Engobes, slips and ceramic coatings
Ceramic glazes and suspension systems
Refractory and insulating ceramic products
Main Functions in Ceramic Processing
Improves plasticity and workability of ceramic bodies Increases green strength before drying and firing
Helps bind clay, quartz, feldspar and other ceramic raw materials
Supports suspension stability in ceramic slips
Helps reduce settling during storage and processing
Assists extrusion, pressing and shaping operations
Can contribute to more consistent body preparation when properly formulated
Product Forms and Supply
Ceramic bentonite is available as fine powder. Standard packing is 25 kg bags, with customized packing available for bulk orders.
We can recommend a suitable grade after reviewing your ceramic application, existing raw-material system, required particle size, desired plasticity and processing method.
Technical Note
The suitable grade and dosage should be confirmed through laboratory or plant trials, as ceramic performance depends on the complete body formulation, local clay properties, firing temperature and production process.
