FAQ

Material Company and Commercial Terms

What products do you supply?

Three nepheline syenite powder grades — GP20 high expansion, K200 ultra white and K100 standard — plus two potassium feldspar grades, SY101 and TX101, and sodium feldspar to specification. Everything is processed from our own quarry.

What is nepheline syenite and why use it instead of feldspar?

It is a quartz-free igneous rock used as a flux in ceramics and glass. Against feldspar it carries more alumina (20-24% against 17-19%) and more total alkali (12-16% against 10-14%), melts earlier, gives a wider firing range and contains no free silica.

How low is the iron content?

K200 runs Fe2O3 at 0.08%, K100 at 0.12% and GP20 at 0.14%. Those levels come from multi-stage wet magnetic separation; dry-process plants working the same ore cannot reach them.

What is your production capacity?

250,000 tons per year, drawn from a deposit with more than 120 million tons of verified reserves.

How do you keep quality consistent between shipments?

One deposit, one processing plant and 100% batch testing — XRF chemistry, laser particle size, moisture and fired whiteness at 1200 degrees C — with the results issued as a Certificate of Analysis.

Are you a mine or a trading company?

A mine. Anyang County Kailong Mining Co., Ltd. has held its own government-issued mining licence since 2007 and runs mining, processing, sales and technical service in one company.

What is the minimum order quantity?

One 20ft container, which is about 24 tons — roughly 20 FIBC jumbo bags. Samples of 1-5 kg per grade are available before that for laboratory evaluation.

Can I get samples before ordering?

Yes. We ship 1-5 kg of each grade by DHL or FedEx at our expense. Samples reach most international destinations in 5-7 days and each one includes a Certificate of Analysis.

What is the lead time?

Production runs 7-14 days from order confirmation. Standard grades are normally held in stock, so container loading often starts within 3-5 working days.

How is the material packed?

1200 kg FIBC jumbo bags as standard, or 50 kg PP woven bags. Bags carry product name, grade, batch number and weight. Custom packaging and private labelling are available.

What quality documentation comes with a shipment?

A batch-specific Certificate of Analysis covering XRF chemistry, particle size, moisture and fired whiteness at 1200 degrees C. We send it for approval before loading, and originals travel with the shipping paperwork.

Which ports do you ship from?

FOB Tianjin, Qingdao or Lianyungang, all within 6-8 hours by truck from the plant. CIF to your destination port is also quoted on request.

What are your payment terms?

Standard terms are T/T with a 30% deposit on pro-forma invoice confirmation and 70% against a copy of the Bill of Lading. Letter of credit is accepted for orders above USD 50,000.

Is the material independently tested?

In-house testing covers every batch. Critical export shipments are additionally verified by Foshan Youbo Ceramic Analysis & Testing Co., Ltd., an independent ceramic testing laboratory.

Can I visit the factory?

Yes. Please book at least three working days ahead. Airport pickup can be arranged from Zhengzhou (CGO) or from Anyang station.

Do you supply under our own brand?

Yes. Bag printing, label cards, custom bag weights and a COA issued under your company name and product codes are all available for distributors and trading companies.

Still Have a Question?

Ask it on WhatsApp. If it is technical it goes to the people who run the laboratory.
