Ceramics & Refractories

SMPL produces Kaolin that finds wide range of application in ceramic industry due to its higher fusion point and better resistance to heat.
SML GLAZE, SML ULTRA, SML BODY, SMP SHINE by SMPL serves on aspect ratios where they imparts rheological properties, stronger finished product and smooth surface finish; alongside improved optical properties for white ware.
rubber

Rubber

The abrasive property of Calcined Kaolin from SMPL is what gives rubber a big three perfect combination of precipitated silica, calium carbonate and kaolin clay in non black filler catagory.
SMPL’s brand SMC-FILLER Kaolin clay is used to improve the tensile, abrasion resistance and modulus of ground calcium carbonate-based rubber compounds. Due to best processability, specially developed particle size and surface area alongwith surface activity according to the filler requirements makes our product best acceptable in the segment.

Fibreglass

Kaolin is one of the ingredients for manufacturing fibreglass. Kaolin is used in fibreglass as a filler and also enables strengthening of the fibres integrated into the material, It also improves the integration of fibres in products requiring strengthened plastics: cars, boats and marine products, sporting goods and recreation products, aviation and aerospace products, circuit board manufacturing, fibreglass insulation, fibreglass air filters, fibreglass tanks and pipes, corrosion resistant fibreglass products, fibreglass building and construction products. The concentration of kaolin in the binder is determined by the chemical nature of the fibre, its surface composition and properties, and the textile structure of the reinforcing system.
SMPL's product SMC-GLASS Optimizes the melting process and controls the heat exchange due to lower Fe values, hence reducing the process upsets in kaolin part of the formulation. So the product becomes highly suitable in E-Glass type fibreglass manufacturing too.

dyes

Dyes

Kaolin use in dyes has much the same relationship present in paint production. It has been proven to enhance the catalytic ozonation process necessary in some dyes. As in paint, fine kaolin improves brightness, opacity and colour, while coarse kaolin improves viscosity.
SMPL produces specially refined Hydrous Kaolin Clay that finds application in dyes that has much the same relationship present in paint production. Our Hydrous Kaolin acts as an inexpensive filler or extender of the product while increasing Colour and absorbability.
paint

Paint

SMPL kaolin products are mainly used in architectural water-based paints. High end Kaolin is used both in architectural and industrial coatings. The fine particle size distribution, surface charge and platy structure of Hydrous Kaolin enhances the functional properties of paint film like opacity and gloss, It also improves the anti-settling and rheology properties of paint. The regular grade hydrous kaolin are used as functional filler in high and medium PVC water based paint and calcined kaolin used for partial replacement of Titanium dioxide in medium and high PVC water based paint.
SMPL's COLOR series Calcined kaolin is particularly useful in creating crack resistant paint with high gloss and opacity.
glass

Glass

We produce SMS-GLASS silica sand in our specially dedicated unit with High silica content. Improved consistency through control of top size, distribution and chemical properties. Consistent particle size distribution supports superior melting characteristics. Meets requirements for the production of float glass, container glass, clear glass, figure glass, solar glass, sheet glass, pattern glass etc.
