Levigated Clay

Levigated Clay

Description

Levigated Clay is a fine-grained, light-colored sedimentary rock composed mainly of clay minerals. It is formed by the weathering and erosion of rocks that contain feldspar, mica, and other minerals. The resulting clay particles are transported by water and deposited in low-energy environments such as lakes and swamps. The clay is then washed and purified to remove impurities and produce a high-quality product suitable for a variety of applications.

Applications

Levigated Clay has a wide range of industrial and commercial uses due to its physical and chemical properties. Some of the common applications of Levigated Clay are:

  • Ceramics and refractories
  • Paints and coatings
  • Rubber industry
  • Pharmaceutical industry
  • Cosmetics and personal care products
