Our experience in ceramic raw materials is unparalleled. Today our products feed a fast-moving global marketplace, from Construction to tiles and providing tailor-made porcelain and ceramic bodies to the sanitaryware and tableware industries
Our Multi-Mineral Portfolio includes Ball Clay from our famous reserves in South-West England, and the German Westerwald region, plus Feldspars, Nepheline, coloured oxides (such as Manganese and Iron), Silicas and a wide range of ceramics additives.
As the ceramics industry faces growing pressure to reduce carbon emissions, material choice has never been more critical. At Sibelco, we’re committed to helping manufacturers achieve sustainability goals without compromising quality. With our sustainable clay solutions you can lower your CO₂ emissions.
Our SANBLEND® range of UK ball clays offers refined and semi-refined grades designed to improve first-fired yield and reduce waste. In a typical European sanitaryware body, every 1% improvement in fired yield can save around 1 tonne of CO₂ per million pieces produced. By getting “more from less,” SANBLEND reduces reworking and defects while contributing to a cleaner future.
