XRD Applications

Raw Clay
Clays

We specialize in the specification and quantification of clay minerals, applying advanced XRD techniques. Our analysis covers a wide range of clay minerals including Kaolinites, Smectites, and Illites, providing in-depth information essential for various industrial applications.

​

We can also analyse and identify Halloysites in samples via XRD and, if required, SEM analysis.
