Imerys offers a comprehensive range of consistent high performance raw materials and bodies for electrical porcelain applications throughout the world. Imerys brings its unique knowledge of mineral technology and body development, combined with its unrivalled depth of application expertise to help improve the performance and yield of its customers products and process

The exacting nature of electrical porcelain production demands that the body components are of high quality and are consistent. The properties of our ball clays are especially suited to these demands. They provide high plasticity, high unfired strength, low organic content and low residue. These benefits are particularly important during the challenging production stages of forming, drying, and firing. Our kaolins are designed to be complimentary to our unique range of ball clays .The mineralogy, particle morphology and particle size distribution makes these products particularly suitable for electrical porcelain applications. These clays together with our expertise enable us to meet the aspirations of the end user.

The Imerys' Hymod product range of strong, plastic clays are especially valuable in the production of high voltage electro porcelain insulators as they offer a high modulus of rupture, high plasticity and low carbon; essential properties for the successful production of extremely large pieces.

Imerys works in active partnership with customers to develop tailored value-added solutions to all their technical needs. We have production facilities in three continents and can offer the assurance of world standard quality control procedures.
