The controlled chemical composition of this Kaolin ensures low iron oxide content and optimal alumina–silica balance, making it ideal for glass clarity, thermal resistance, and ceramic whiteness. Its purity supports both functional strength and aesthetic quality in advanced material processing.
Applications & Industry Relevance
- Glass Industry – Kaolin acts as a refining and alumina source, improving viscosity control and optical clarity in specialty glass and container production.
- Ceramic Manufacturing – Essential for whiteness, plasticity, and fired strength; suitable for tiles, sanitary ware, and fine china.
- Refractories & Insulators – Adds structural integrity and resistance to thermal shock.
Through its adaptable chemical profile, KL-PON-01 offers both technical precision and sustainability value for industries striving toward cleaner, high-efficiency manufacturing.
Production & Regulatory Status
The Kaolin (KL-PON-01) is currently awaiting operational permit for 2026, following Shafwah Group’s compliance review under Indonesia’s new mineral resource governance framework. Once approved, it will be produced under strict quality control systems and aligned with Shafwah Asia’s Environmental and Social Governance (ESG) standards.
Supply Chain & Quality Assurance
Shafwah Asia manages every stage of mineral movement — from mine gate to export logistics — ensuring transparency, traceability, and timely delivery. The Certificate of Analysis (CoA) for each shipment is available upon request, guaranteeing conformity with industry-accepted chemical benchmarks.
Shafwah Asia’s Commitment
This initiative is part of our broader mission to build Asia’s most trusted green natural resource network — connecting sustainable mineral sources from Southeast Asia with industrial innovation in East Asia.
By investing in compliance, quality assurance, and green supply chains, Shafwah Asia supports the transition to a more sustainable and resilient global materials economy.
