From the far north of New Zealand comes the whitest clay in the world.
A clay that produces the highest quality porcelain and bone china with outstanding strength and translucency.
New Zealand China Clays. A company renowned for supply reliability, technical support and the highest quality product.
The unique and exceptionally white primary clay deposits mined at Matauri Bay are derived from the alteration of acid volcanic rocks.The aluminosilicate feldspar minerals in the parent rhyolite have been broken down to their constituents by low temperature hydrothermal alteration and have then reconstituted as halloysite.
To ensure the highest degree of purity, New Zealand China Clays has developed a unique process for halloysite benefication. The end result is a clay that's worthy of the world's finest porcelain and china creations. From delicate tabletop collections to exceptionally tough hotelware.
