Clay; It is a sedimentary mineral with high aluminum and silica content, found in large amounts in nature, soft and very fine-grained, formed by the decomposition of feldspar, mica and other silicates. It has layered structures. Clays, which gain plastic properties when in contact with water, deteriorate when fired and gain a more durable structure and strength.
When clay mixes with water, its volume increases, and when it dries, it decreases in volume. Clay minerals are layer-structured aluminosilicates that contain water, have high plasticity with water, and can be shaped into mud, hardened by evaporation of water after the shaping of the mud, and sintered at high temperatures. Clays show plastic properties due to the presence of mica mineral in their structure.
Sectors in which it is used: Ceramic coating products, ceramic sanitary ware, bricks, floor wall and roof tiles, electro ceramics, refractories, cordierite, mullite and sialon bodies, wallpaper, artificial leather, textile floor coverings, cement, electrical insulator coatings, abrasive discs, cement, rubber. It is used in industry, plastic, paint, pen, ink and detergent production.
