TYPICAL PHYSICAL PROPERTIES:

The works carried out to obtain by MinaSilicio, are carried out within the technical norms and under strict quality control, from the extraction to the final processing. Our biggest challenge is to harmonize the

part with the . Our Mining Engineers, Geologists and Technicians are always aware of any damage that may be caused to their extraction, and immediately adopt solutions to the rebalance of the area eventually affected, preserving to the maximum the original fauna and flora. Our infrastructure allows us to have an exemplary quality in the products that are offered to the market and highly competitive prices. We perform SERIOUS work and look for companies that are also committed to the same goals to form a lasting partnership.

KAOLIN

SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT

The extracted by MinaSilicio is special in its composition, since it has all the basic and essential requirements for several applications in various segments of Agriculture, Poultry, Fish farming, PET and processing industries due to their color, granulometry, form of mineral components , refractive index, oil absorption, chemical and intrinsic composition of the deposit that form the set of characteristics that give the ore quality to be classified as exceptional load for use in:

KAOLIN

ANIMAL FOOD:

INK:

Kaolin is used as a vehicle to give volume and facilitate homogenization. It aggregates and preserves the nutrients as it does not cause changes in the product. Kaolin is an inert material, so it is neither toxic nor perishable. Promotes weight gain, increases feed efficiency and helps strengthen the immune system of

animals.

Used as cargo due to its granulometry and whiteness, it reduces costs by replacing more expensive pigments and provides excellent coverage to wet and dry with increased washability. It acts as extender of titanium dioxide (TiO2). It also exhibits excellent chemical inertia, film formation, matting of the final product, surface adhesion, weatherability (UV protection) and refined and soft finishing to the touch of the final product.

PAPER:

PLASTIC:

Kaolin is widely used in the paper industry which consumes about 45% of world production. In it, it is used as filler, (load) and can be used for addition or replacement of plastic clays and calcium carbonate among others.

It contributes to the brightness, uniformity, smoothness and print quality. Help also in the environment, because it avoids the extraction of trees.

Kaulins are an integral part of technological advances in plastics. Within this area, Kaolin offers many benefits for thermoplastic and thermoplastic polymer applications. Kaulins are used to enhance visual appeal, strength,

flexibility, electrical properties, durability and cost.

ERASER:

Improves the performance of Rubbers. Used as a mineral load with low coefficient of friction, in addition to reducing the costs, they confer several advantages to the final product, such as: It increases the elongation of rupture, it helps in the calandragem providing a more uniform lamination, it avoids the formation of bubbles, it assists in the pressing and vulcanization.

ADHESIVES AND SEALANTS:

COSMETICS AND SOAPS:

It is used in adhesives and sealants due to the geological properties that incorporate the formulations. Its physical and morphological characteristics influence the absorption of resins or oil, consistency of the adhesive or sealant, stability, porosity, flexibility, stiffness, density, rheology, dry and wet strength.

Chemically inert, it is used as a filler and carrier for a wide variety of products that are made for direct contact with human skin such as: Masks, toothpastes, soaps, creams anti-inflammatory, ointments and makeup among others.

PORCELAIN / SANITARY WARE:In the production of porcelain and sanitary ware, Caulins are increasingly consumed due to their damp

plasticity and their property as flux or vitrifying. Because it has a fine grain size of its mineral constituents and having these lamellar forms the ore contributes to the homogeneity of the floor and also to give coloration

after the firing.

OTHER APPLICATIONS

KAOLIN is also used in the manufacture of detergents, filler for plaster, linoleum and oiled coating, as an inert carrier for insecticides, mild abrasives and hardener in the textile industry, among others.

MINASILICIO GMA HAS A SPECIALIZED TEAM TO SEND SAMPLES OF OUR FOR LABORATORY ANALYSIS OF HIS TRUST, SO THAT IT CAN PROVE AND CONFIRM THE QUALITY OF OUR ORE.
