Kaolin-China Clay

Kaolin-China Clay

Kaolin, also known as China clay, is a white, soft mineral formed through the weathering of aluminum silicate minerals, primarily feldspar. Due to its unique properties, kaolin is used in various industries.

Features and Benefits:

• Fine Particle Size: Kaolin particles are extremely fine, with an average size ranging from 1 to 10 micrometers. This fine particle size contributes to its excellent suspension quality and enhances its ability to blend with other materials¹.
• High Brightness: Kaolin has a high degree of brightness due to its white color and light-reflecting properties. This makes it a preferred ingredient in applications such as coatings, paints, and paper¹.
• Thermal Stability: With a melting point above 1000°C, kaolin exhibits excellent thermal stability, making it suitable for high-temperature processes like refractory ceramics production¹.

Applications:

• Ceramics and Porcelain Industry: Kaolin acts as a binding agent, increasing the flexibility of clay and facilitating the molding process. It is also used in the production of ceramic glazes and bodies.
• Paper Industry: Used as a coating and filler in paper production, kaolin enhances the brightness and surface quality of paper.
• Cosmetics and Personal Care: Due to its moisture-absorbing properties and low abrasiveness, kaolin is used in cosmetic products like face powders and facial masks.
