Talc mineral is composed of hydrated magnesium silicate. The natural talc mineral comes as white talc, grey talc, blue or green talc. Talc is generally wax like or pearly in look. We are one of the famous talc manufacturers as well as suppliers in India. Talc mineral is widely used as a filter in the manufacturing of paper. It is also used as cosmetic and as a lubricant. The cost of talc mineral is reasonable.

Silica mineral is abundantly formed on the earth crust as sand and quartz. industrial silica is a white powdery substance and solid in its pure state. It is tetrahedral in its molecular shape. We are one of the best silica manufacturers and suppliers in India. The silica is used as raw material for aerogel in spacecrafts. The chemical compound silicon dioxide, also known as silica or silox (from the Latin "silex"), is an oxide of silicon, chemical formula SiO, and has been known for its hardness since the 9th century. Silica is most commonly found in nature as sand or quartz, as well as in the cell walls of diatoms. It is a principal component of most types of glass and substances such as concrete. Silica is the most abundant mineral in the earth's crust. Silica is manufactured in several forms including: Glass (a colorless, high-purity form is called fused silica) Synthetic amorphous silica, silica gel Pyrogenic silica (sometimes called fumed silica or silica fume) It is used in the production of various products. Inexpensive soda-lime glass is the most common and typically found in drinking glasses, bottles, and windows. A raw material for many whiteware ceramics such as earthenware, stoneware and porcelain. A raw material for the production of Portland cement. A food additive, primarily as a flow agent in powdered foods, or to absorb water (see the ingredients list for). The natural ("native") oxide coating that grows on silicon is hugely beneficial in microelectronics. It is a superior electric insulator, with high chemical stability. In electrical applications, it can protect the silicon, store charge, block current, and even act as a controlled pathway to allow small currents to flow through a device. At room temperature, however, it grows extremely slowly, and so to manufacture such oxide layers, the traditional method has been heating of silicon in high-temperature furnaces within an oxygen ambient (thermal oxidation). Raw material for aerogel in the stardust.

Our exclusive range of quartz is available in various colors but our milky quartz is famous for its unique milky white color. Apart from this, our productive range of wholesale green quartz is also appreciated and can be availed as per the desired specifications of our esteemed clients. Moreover, we are known amongst the prime quartz manufacturers in India. Crystal Habit Quartz belongs to the rhombohedral crystal system The ideal crystal shape is a six-sided prism terminating with six-sided pyramids at each end. In nature quartz crystals are often twinned, distorted, or so intergrown with adjacent crystals of quartz or other minerals as to only show part of this shape, or to lack obvious crystal faces altogether and appear massive. Well-formed crystals typically form in a 'bed' that has unconstrained growth into a void, but because the crystals must be attached at the other end to a matrix, only one termination pyramid is present. A quartz geode is such a situation where the void is approximately spherical in shape, lined with a bed of crystals pointing inward. Varieties Pure quartz is colorless or white; colored varieties include rose quartz, amethyst, smoky quartz, milky quartz, and others. Quartz goes by an array of different names. The most important distinction between types of quartz is that of macrocrystalline (individual crystals visible to the unaided eye) and the microcrystalline or cryptocrystalline varieties (aggregates of crystals visible only under high magnification). Chalcedony is a generic term for cryptocrystalline quartz. The cryptocrystalline varieties are either translucent or mostly opaque, while the transparent varieties tend to be macrocrystalline. Although many of the varietal names historically arose from the color of the mineral, current scientific naming schemes refer primarily to the microstructure of the mineral. Color is a secondary identifier for the cryptocrystalline minerals, although it is a primary identifier for the macrocrystalline varieties. This does not always hold true. Major Varieties Chalcedony : Any cryptocrystalline quartz, although generally only used for white or lightly colored material. Otherwise more specific names are used. Agate Multi-colored, banded chalcedony, semi-translucent to translucent. Onyx Agate where the bands are straight, parallel and consistent in size. Jasper Opaque chalcedony, typically red to brown Aventurine Translucent chalcedony with small inclusions (usually mica) that shimmer. Rock Crystal Fibrous gold to red-brown coloured quartz, exhibiting chatoyancy. Amethyst Clear & Colorless Citrine Purple & Transparent Prasiolite Yellow to reddish orange to brown, greenish yellow Rose Quartz Mint green & Transparent Rutilated Quartz Pink, translucent, may display diasterism Milk Quartz Contains acicular (needles) inclusions of rutile Smok Quartz White, translucent to opaque, may display diasterism Morion Brown to grey, opaque Carnelian Dark-brown & Opaque Synthetic & Artificial Treatments A synthetic quartz crystal grown by the hydrothermal method, about 19 cm long and weights about 127 grams Not all varieties of quartz are naturally occurring. Prasiolite, an olive colored material, is produced by heat treatment; natural prasiolite has also been observed in Lower Silesia in Poland. Although citrine occurs naturally, the majority is the result of heat-treated amethyst. Carnelian is widely heat-treated to deepen its color. Due to natural quartz being so often twinned, much of the quartz used in industry is synthesized. Large, flawless and untwinned crystals are produced in an autoclave via the hydrothermal process; emeralds are also synthesized in this fashion. While these are still commonly referred to as quartz, the correct term for this material is silicon dioxide. Occurrence Quartz occurs in hydrothermal veins and pegmatites. Well-formed crystals may reach several meters in length and weigh hundreds of kilograms. These veins may bear precious metals such as gold or silver, and form the quartz ores sought in mining Erosion of pegmatites may reveal expansive pockets of crystals, known as "cathedrals." Quartz is a common constituent of granite, sandstone, limestone, and many other igneous,sedimentry, and metamorphic rocks

Natural limestone contains silica in different proportions and is largely composed of calcite mineral. The limestone powder contains calcite mineral due to the marine organism. We have listed our name among the well established limestone manufacturers as well as one of the best limestone powder suppliers in India. The cost of limestone powder is quite affordable. Limestone often contains variable amounts of silica in the form of chert or flint, as well as varying amounts of clay, silt and sand as disseminations, nodules, or layers within the rock. The primary source of the calcite in limestone is most commonly marine organisms. These organisms secrete shells that settle out of the water column and are deposited on ocean floors as pelagic ooze or alternatively are conglomerated in a coral reef (see lysocline for information on calcite dissolution). Secondary calcite may also be deposited by supersaturated meteoric waters (groundwater that precipitates the material in caves). This produces speleothems such as stalagmites and stalactites. Another form taken by calcite is that of oolites (oolitic limestone) which can be recognized by its granular appearance. Limestone makes up about 10% of the total volume of all sedimentary rocks. Limestones may also form in both lacustrine and evaporitedepositional environments. Calcite can be either dissolved by groundwater or precipitated by groundwater, depending on several factors including the water temperature, pH, and dissolved ion concentrations. Calcite exhibits an unusual characteristic called retrograde solubility in which it becomes less soluble in water as the temperature increases. When conditions are right for precipitation, calcite forms mineral coatings that cement the existing rock grains together or it can fill fractures. Karst topography and cave develop in carbonate rocks due to their solubility in dilute acidic groundwater. Cooling groundwater or mixing of different groundwaters will also create conditions suitable for cave formation. Coastal limestones are often eroded by organisms which bore into the rock by various means. This process is known as bioerosion. It is most common in the tropics, and it is known throughout the fossil record (see Taylor and Wilson, 2003). Because of impurities, such as clay, sand, organic remains, iron oxide and other materials, many limestones exhibit different colors, especially on weathered surfaces. Limestone may be crystalline, clastic, granular, or massive, depending on the method of formation. Crystals of calcite, quartz, dolomite or barite may line small cavities in the rock. Folk and Dunham classifications are used to describe limestones more precisely. Travertine is a banded, compact variety of limestone formed along streams, particularly where there are waterfalls and around hot or cold springs. Calcium carbonate is deposited where evaporation of the water leaves a solution that is supersaturated with chemical constituents of calcite. Tufa, a porous or cellular variety of travertine, is found near waterfalls. Coquina is a poorly consolidated limestone composed of pieces of coral or shells. During regional metamorphism that occurs during the mountain building process (orogeny) limestone recrystallizes into marble. Limestone landscape Limestone is partially soluble, especially in acid and therefore forms many erosional landforms. These include limestone pavements, pot holes, cenotes, caves and gorges. Such erosion landscapes are known as karsts. Limestone is less resistant than most igneous rocks, but more resistant than most other sedimentary rocks. Limestone is therefore usually associated with hills and downland and occurs in regions with other sedimentary rocks, typically clays. Uses of limestone Limestone is very common in architecture, Limestone was also a very popular building block in the Middle Ages in the areas where it occurred since it is hard, durable, and commonly occurs in easily accessible surface exposures. Many medieval churches and castles in Europe are made of limestone. Beer stone was a popular kind of limestone for medieval buildings in southern England. Limestone and marble are very reactive to acid solutions, making acid rain a significant problem. Many limestone statues and building surfaces have suffered severe damage due to acid rain. Acid-based cleaning chemicals can also etch limestone, which should only be cleaned with a neutral or mild alkaline-based cleaner. Other uses include: The manufacture of quicklime (calcium oxide) and slaked lime (calcium hydroxide); Cement and mortar; Pulverized limestone is used as a soil conditioner to neutralize acidic soil conditions; Crushed for use as aggregate�the solid base for many roads; Geological formations of limestone are among the best petroleum reservoirs; As a reagent in desulfurizations; Glass making, in some circumstances; Added to paper, plastics, paint, tiles, and other materials as both white pigment and a cheap filler. Toothpaste Suppression of methane explosions in underground coal mines Added to bread and cereals as a source of calcium.

We present an inexplicable range of Indian iron ore which is sourced from the finest mines of India and are available in different compositions and sizes. Our range of iron ore minerals is of high grade quality and is used as a raw material for various applications by many industries. However, we are regarded as one of the famous iron ore manufacturers of India. Iron (pronounced) is a chemical element with the symbol Fe (Latin: ferrum) and atomic number 26. Iron is a group 8 and period 4 element. Iron is a lustrous, silvery soft metal. It is one of the few ferromagnetic elements. Iron and nickel are notable for being the final elements produced by stellar nucleosynthesis, and are therefore the heaviest elements which do not require a red giant or supernova for formation. Iron and nickel are therefore the most abundant metals in metallic meteorites and in the dense-metal cores of planets such as Earth. Iron and iron alloys are also the most common source of ferromagnetic materials in everyday use.

Hydrate lime is obtained when calcium oxide is mixed with water. Hydrate lime is available as hydrate lime crystal or hydrate lime powder. Our company is one of the prominent white hydrated lime manufacturers in India. Hydrate lime powder when mixed with acid it reacts violently and destroy metals in the presence of water. The solution of hydrate lime powder and water turns milky when carbon dioxide is passed through it. Calcium hydroxide, traditionally called slaked lime, hydrated lime, or pickling lime, is a chemical compound with the chemical formula Ca(OH)2. It is a colourless crystal or white powder, and is obtained when calcium oxide (called lime or quicklime) is mixed, or "slaked" with water. It can also be precipitated by mixing an aqueous solution of calcium chloride and an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide. The name of the natural mineral is portlandite. When heated to 512°C, the partial pressureof water in equilibrium with calcium hydroxide reaches 101 kPa and decomposes into calcium oxide and water A suspension of fine calcium hydroxide particles in water is called milk of lime. The solution is called lime water and is a medium strength base that reacts violently with acids and attacks many metals in presence of water. It turns milky if carbon dioxide is passed through, due to precipitation of calcium carbonate.

Uses Because of its strong basic properties, calcium hydroxide has many and varied uses: A flocculant, in water and sewage treatment and improvement of acid soils An ingredient in whitewash, mortar, and plaster An alkali used as a lye substitute in no-lye hair relaxers A chemical depilatory agent found in Nair An ingredient in baby formula milk A chemical reagent In the reef aquarium hobby for adding bio-available calcium in solution for calcium-using animals such as algae, snails, hard tube worms, and Corals (often referred to as Kalkwasser mix), and also to increase the alkalinity of the water. In the tanning industry for neutralization of acid, the liming of hides and skins and the flocculation of wastewater. In the petroleum refining industry for the manufacture of additives to oils (salicatic, sulphatic, fenatic) In the chemical industry for manufacture of calcium stearate In the food industry for processing water (for alcoholic and soft drinks) For clearing a brine of carbonates of calcium and magnesium in the manufacture of salt for food and pharmacopoeia In Native American and Latin American cooking, calcium hydroxide is called "cal". Corn cooked with cal becomes nixtamal which significantly increases its nutrition value, and is also considered tastier and easier to digest. In chewing Betel nut or coca leaves, calcium hydroxide is usually chewed alongside to keep the alkaloid stimulants chemically available for absorption by the body Similarly, Native Americans traditionally chewed tobacco leaves with calcium hydroxide derived from burnt shells to enhance the effects A filler In the petrochemical industry for manufacturing solid oil of various marks In the manufacture of brake pads In the manufacture of ebonite For preparation of dry mixes for painting and decorating In manufacturing mixes for pesticides In manufacturing the trademarked compound "Polikar", an antifungal and antimicrobial preservative for vegetables in storage In Dentistry, it is used as dressing in paste form used for anti-microbial effect during a dental root canal procedure. Calcium hydroxide is known to have a strong anti-microbial effect and is a bone-regeneration stimulant.

Dolomite minerals occur wherever there is high content of organic matter. Dolomite occurs naturally as pink dolomite, white dolomite or gray dolomite. It is poorly soluble in dilute acid until and unless it is powdered. We are one of the most prominent dolomite manufacturers as well as the best among the dolomite suppliers in India. In nutrition, dolomite is also supplied as a dietary supplement on the assumption that it makes a good simultaneous source of two important elemental nutrients calcium and magnesium. Dolomite Dolomite (pronounced) is the name of a sedimentary carbonate rock and a mineral, both composed of calcium magnesium carbonate CaMg(CO3)2 found in crystals. Dolomite rock (also dolostone) is composed predominantly of the mineral dolomite. Limestone that is partially replaced by dolomite is referred to as dolomitic limestone, or in old U.S. geologic literature as magnesian limestone. Dolomite was first described in 1791 as the rock by the French naturalist and geologist, Déodat Gratet de Dolomieu (1750�1801) for exposures in the Dolomite Alps of northern Italy. Properties The mineral dolomite crystallizes in the trigonal-rhombohedral system. It forms white, gray to pink, commonly curved crystals, although it is usually massive. It has physical properties similar to those of the mineral calcite, but does not rapidly dissolve or effervesce (fizz) in dilute hydrochloric acid unless it is scratched or in powdered form. The Mohs hardness is 3.5 to 4 and the specific gravity is 2.85. Refractive index values are n� = 1.679 - 1.681 and nε = 1.500. Crystal twinning is common. A solid solution series exists between dolomite and iron rich ankerite. Small amounts of iron in the structure give the crystals a yellow to brown tint. Manganese substitutes in the structure also up to about three percent MnO. A high manganese content gives the crystals a rosy pink color noted in the image above. A series with the manganese rich kutnohorite may exist. Lead and zinc also substitute in the structure for magnesium. Formation Vast deposits are present in the geological record, but the mineral is relatively rare in modern environments. However, laboratory synthesis of stoichiometric dolomite has been carried out only at temperatures of greater than 100 degrees Celsius, conditions typical of burial in sedimentary basins�even though much dolomite in the rock record appears to have formed in low-temperature conditions. The high temperature is likely to speed up the movement of calcium and magnesium ions so that they can find their places in the ordered structure within a reasonable amount of time. This suggests that the lack of dolomite that is being formed today is likely due to kinematic factors. Modern dolomite does occur as a precipitating mineral in specialized environments on the surface of the earth today. In the 1950s and 60s, dolomite was found to be forming in highly saline lakes in the Coorong region of South Australia. Dolomite crystals also occur in deep-sea sediments, where organic matter content is high. This dolomite is termed "organogenic" dolomite. The actual role of bacteria in the low-temperature formation of dolomite remains to be demonstrated. The specific mechanism of dolomitization, involving sulfate-reducing bacteria, has not yet been demonstrated. Dolomite appears to form in many different types of environment and can have varying structural, textural and chemical characteristics. Some researchers have stated "there are dolomites and dolomites", meaning that there may not be one single mechanism by which dolomite can form. Much modern dolomite differs significantly from the bulk of the dolomite found in the rock record, leading researchers to speculate that environments where dolomite formed in the geologic past differ significantly from those where it forms today. Reproducible laboratory syntheses of dolomite (and magnesite) leads first to the initial precipitation of a metastable "precursor" (such as magnesium calcite), to be changed gradually into more and more of the stable phase (such as dolomite or magnesite) during periodical intervals of dissolution and reprecipitation. The general principle governing the course of this irreversible geochemical reaction has been coined Ostwald's step rule. For a very long time scientists had difficulties synthesizing dolomite. However, in a 1999 study, through a processes of dissolution alternating with the intervals of precipitation measurable levels of dolomite were synthesized at low temperatures and pressures. Uses Dolomite is used as an ornamental stone, a concrete aggregate and as a source of magnesium oxide. It is an important petroleum reservoir rock, and serves as the host rock for large strata-bound Mississippi Valley-Type (MVT) ore deposits of base metals (that is, readily oxidized metals) such as lead, zinc, and copper. Where calcite limestone is uncommon or too costly, dolomite is sometime used in its place as a flux (impurity remover) for the smelting of iron and steel. Large quantities of processed dolomite are used in the production of float glass (flat glass). In horticulture, dolomite and dolomitic limestone are added to soils and soilless potting mixes to lower their acidity ("sweeten" them). Home and container gardening are common examples of this use. As Nutritional Supplement In nutrition, dolomite is sold sometimes as a dietary supplement on the assumption that it should make a good simultaneous source of the two important elemental nutrients calcium and magnesium. However, since dolomites from Mississippi Valley-Type ore regions such as the Old Lead Belt and New Lead Belt in southeastern Missouri United States often include significant levels of lead and other toxic elements] users should always verify that such dolomite supplements are from non-ore regions before ingesting them. Further, laboratory experiments conducted at the University of Alberta demonstrate that dolomite is practically insoluble in stomach acid and is eliminated from the body before significant magnesium or calcium can be absorbed.] A far safer strategy is to avoid using dolomite as a supplement altogether, and instead taking equivalent amounts of milk of magnesia and calcium supplements. The chemical processes used to create such individual supplements effectively eliminate the risk of ingesting the toxic metals often associated with raw dolomite.

Pure China Clay is generally white in colour but it is also available in different colours like red blur and brown. China clay minerals do not posses any lustre it is dull and earthy in look. China clay is used as a food additive, in ceramics, medicine, coated paper, in toothpaste, cosmetics, etc. It is also used as a light diffusing material in white incandescent light bulbs. We are famous as the best among the china clay manufacturers as well as suppliers in India. Clay is a naturally occurring material composed primarily of fine-grained minerals, which show plasticity through a variable range of water content, and which can be hardened when dried andor fired. Clay deposits are mostly composed of clay minerals (phyllosilicate minerals), minerals which impart plasticity and harden when fired andor dried, and variable amounts of water trapped in the mineral structure by polar attraction. Organic materials which do not impart plasticity may also be a part of clay deposits. Clay minerals are typically formed over long periods of time by the gradual chemical weathering of rocks (usually silicate-bearing) by low concentrations of carbonic acid and other diluted solvents. These solvents (usually acidic) migrate through the weathering rock after leaching through upper weathered layers. In addition to the weathering process, some clay minerals are formed by hydrothermal activity. Clay deposits may be formed in place as residual deposits, but thick deposits usually are formed as the result of a secondary sedimentary deposition process after they have been eroded and transported from their original location of formation. Clay deposits are typically associated with very low energy depositional environments such as large lake and marine deposits. Definition Clays are distinguished from other fine-grained soils by various differences in composition. Silts, which are fine-grained soils which do not include clay minerals, tend to have larger particle sizes than clays, but there is some overlap in both particle size and other physical properties, and there are many naturally occurring deposits which include both silts and clays. The distinction between silt and clay varies by discipline. Geologists and soil scientists usually consider the separation to occur at a particle size of 2 µm (clays being finer than silts), sedimentologists often use 4-5 μm, and colloid chemists use 1 μm Geotechnical engineers distinguish between silts and clays based on the plasticity properties of the soil, as measured by the soils' Atterberg Limits. ISO 14688 grades clay particles as being smaller than 0.063 mm, and silts larger. Primary clays, also known as kaolins are located at the site of formation. Secondary clay deposits have been moved by erosion and water from its primary location. Depending upon academic source, there are three or four main groups of clays: kaolinite, montmorillonite-smectite, illite, and chlorite. Chlorites are not always considered a clay, sometimes being classified as a separate group within the phyllosilicates. There are approximately thirty different types of "pure" clays in these categories, but most "natural" clays are mixtures of these different types, long with other weathered minerals. Varve (or varved clay) is clay with visible annual layers, formed by seasonal differences in erosion and organic content. This type of deposit is common in former glacial lakes. Quick clay is a unique type of marine clay indigenous to the glaciated terrains of Norway, Canada and Sweden. It is a highly sensitive clay, prone to liquefaction, which has been involved in several deadly landslides. Historical and modern uses Clay layers in a construction site. Dry clay is normally much more stable than sand with regards to excavations. Clays exhibit plasticity when mixed with water in certain proportions. When dry, clay becomes firm and when fired in a kiln, permanent physical and chemical reactions occur which, amongst other changes, causes the clay to be converted into a ceramic material. It is because of these properties that clay is used for making pottery items, both practical and decorative. Different types of clay, when used with different minerals and firing conditions, are used to produce earthenware, stoneware and porcelain. Early humans discovered the useful properties of clay in prehistoric times, and one of the earliest artifacts ever uncovered is a drinking vessel made of sun-dried clay. Depending on the content of the soil, clay can appear in various colors, from a dull gray to a deep orange-red. Clay tablets were used as the first writing medium, inscribed with script through the use of a blunt reed called a stylus. Clays sintered in fire were the first form of ceramic. Bricks, cooking pots, art objects, dishware and even musical instruments such as the ocarina can all be shaped from clay before being fired. Clay is also used in many industrial processes, such as paper making, cement production and chemical filtering. Clay is also often used in the manufacture of pipes for smoking tobacco and marijuana. Clay, being relatively impermeable to water, is also used where natural seals are needed, such as in the cores of dams, or as a barrier in landfills against toxic seepage ('lining' the landfill, preferably in combination with geotextiles). Recent studies have been carried out to investigate clay's adsorption capacities in various applications, such as the removal of heavy metals from waste water and air purification.
