Why SCI-15

Key Performance Benefits

Engineered for maximum cost efficiency, superior firing brightness, and consistent manufacturing performance.

High Mechanical Strength

60.24% Alumina content boosts body hardness, MOR, and thermal shock resistance during high-temp firing.

Brilliant Whiteness

Delivers exceptional whiteness and opacity, enhancing final body brightness and color depth.

Low Iron Content

Ultra-low Fe₂O₃ (0.21%) prevents yellowish discoloration, maintaining pure white aesthetics.

Thermal Stability

Maintains dimensional integrity and chemical stability across diverse kiln firing cycles.

Consistent Chemistry

Precise particle distribution ensures reliable body-glaze fit and zero batch variation.

Cost Efficiency

Acts as a direct zirconium replacement, substantially lowering batch raw material costs.

Superior Surface Finish

Produces smooth, pinhole-free surface textures across tiles, and porcelain.

Batch Efficiency

Integrates seamlessly into existing slip-house, ball mill, and spray-drying operations.
