Pyrophyllite: For Every industry – Cosmetics to Aerospace
Pyrophyllite, a hydrous aluminum silicate mineral, has high demand in various industries due to its unique properties. India boasts substantial reserves and diverse varieties, making it a key player in the global pyrophyllite market.
Pyrophyllite is known for its softness, talc-like feel, and excellent thermal stability. Its layered structure allows for easy cleavage, making it suitable for various applications.
We have mining and supply capacity of more than 30,000 metric tonnes per month.
We deal in following varieties:
- High-Grade: Characterized by high purity and whiteness, ideal for high-end applications.
- Medium-Grade: Suitable for general industrial applications, with moderate purity.
- Low-Grade: Used in applications where purity is less critical, such as refractories.
- White Pyrophyllite: Highly sought after for its aesthetic and functional properties, used in cosmetics and ceramics.
- Grey/Brown: More common and used in refractory and ceramic applications.
Pyrophyllite Industrial Application / Usage:
Due to high versatility, this mineral find usage as raw material in diverse industries like:
- Refractories: Its high-temperature stability makes it ideal for manufacturing refractory bricks and linings used in furnaces and kilns.
- Ceramics: Pyrophyllite is used as a filler and flux in ceramic bodies, improving their thermal shock resistance and whiteness.
