            |  PAPER:- 
 Our China clay and Calcined China clay are most extensively 
			used additive in the manufacturing of paper, primarily as filler and 
			for coating. China clay is combined with wood pulp or fiber to 
			generate substantially more paper filler. It is a less expensive 
			alternative to all wood paper filler, which has become more 
			expensive as demand for paper increases and supply of wood 
			decreases. The particle size of our China clay plays an important 
			role in fillers and coatings, as larger particles provide added 
			strength to paper. Our China clay coatings improve paper appearance, 
			giving it varying degrees of gloss, smoothness, brightness, opacity, 
			and most importantly printability. Our China clay improves 
			printability by providing added ink absorption, ink pigment holdout, 
			lowering linting tendency, and increasing roughness. Three aspects 
			of our China clay that shape these characteristics are purity, 
			rheology, and particle geometry.
