The name 'ball clay' derives from the former method of winning the clay by cutting it from the floor of an open pit in cubes. Because of the clay's high plasticity the cubes held together, but after being handled several times the corners became knocked in and the cubes turned into balls – so, to the potters, a plastic, white firing ...

The clay balls are lightweight and absorbent by nature. That means they help retain water better than your average inert growing medium. You will need a pot with drainage holes, a solid pot without drainage holes (slightly larger than the first pot), and enough LECA to fill the smaller pot. In addition, liquid nutrients and pH adjusters are ...

The name "ball clay" is derived from its early extraction methods in 18 th century England when it was dug by spade as cubes, which then became rounded during subsequent transport. Today, ball clay is extracted using hydraulic excavators, working at "benches" cut into the quarry to access the seams of clay. Individual raw clay ...

The ball clay:kaolin mix can be altered to change body plasticity without significantly affecting the maturing temperature. In North America, most commercial ball clays are mined in the southeastern US. Ball clay deposits are common and were laid by the action of slow moving water with an acidity that tended to flocculate and settle the clay.

Today, Kingsteignton's famous ball clay deposits are operated by Sibelco, alongside kaolin reserves at nearby Cornwood. Sibelco's involvement in the clay industry began in 1988 when the company took a stake in Watts Blake Bearne (WBB), one of the world's largest providers of ball clay and kaolin with a history that can be traced back to 1710.
Ball clay is one of the most popular ceramic materials.It also has many applications in industrial ceramics. This is because they are plastic in nature and fine-grained.
