What makes Dragon Chemical different from other ceramic mineral suppliers?

Three key differentiators: (1) In-house Technical Division with 47+ combined years of hands-on ceramic R&D experience, (2) Dual presence in China (manufacturing) and India (on-ground support in Morbi), (3) No-commitment approach — we prove our value through trials and technical support before asking for any long-term commitment.

Can your technical team visit our plant for on-site support?

Yes, our Technical Division regularly visits customer plants for body/glaze optimization, process troubleshooting, and new product development. We have active ongoing projects in the Morbi (India) ceramic cluster and have worked with manufacturers across Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Europe.

Which countries do you ship ceramic minerals to?

We supply ceramic manufacturers worldwide. Key markets include India (Morbi ceramic cluster), Southeast Asia (Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand), Middle East (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Iran), Africa (Nigeria, Egypt), South America and Europe. We handle all export documentation and can ship CIF, FOB or EXW based on your preference.

What certifications do your mineral products carry?

All products are tested against international standards. We provide certificates of analysis (COA) with each shipment covering: chemical composition, whiteness (ISO), L-value, moisture content, loss on ignition (LOI), and particle size distribution. Products are manufactured under ISO-quality processes at our Foshan facility.

Premium Ceramic Minerals Supplier — Your Technical Partner in Raw Materials

Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for ceramic minerals?

MOQ varies by product grade and destination. For most standard grades, we can work with as little as one container (20-25 MT). For trial orders or new customers, we offer flexible quantities — contact us with your requirements and we'll find a workable solution.

Q: Do you provide free samples before bulk purchase?

Yes, we provide free samples with full technical datasheets including whiteness (ISO), L-value, particle size distribution and chemical analysis. Most customers test our samples in their own lab before placing their first order.

Q: How long does it take to receive a quotation?

We respond to all enquiries within 24 business hours during China time (GMT+8). For complex specifications requiring technical evaluation, our team may take up to 48 hours to prepare a comprehensive proposal with grade recommendations and pricing.

Q: Can I replace zircon with your Zirconium Replacement grades?

Yes — our A30 and 25G Zirconium Replacement grades are designed specifically as partial or full replacements for conventional zircon silicate. With 8+ years of commercial use across multiple manufacturers, these grades have been proven in both glossy and matte glaze systems at 22%, 25% and 30% concentrations. We recommend sending us your current formulation so our technical team can advise on the optimal replacement ratio.

Our Products

Four Mineral Lines Engineered for Ceramic Performance

Premium ceramic raw materials sourced from reputable mines and processed to meet international quality standards for glaze, frit, sanitaryware and large-format slab production.

01 · Opacifier

Wollastonite for Ceramics

Calcium silicate mineral with very low Loss on Ignition (LOI) — reduces firing shrinkage and improves dimensional stability in ceramic bodies.

W4J Highest transparency, high colour contrast — ideal for high-gloss polished tiles W 80%

W3 More opacity, less gloss — suited for bodies, sanitaryware, tableware W 85%

W101 Purest grade, lowest LOI — special frits, premium glaze applications W 87%
