Kaolin Clay

Description:
Kaolin Clay, also known as China Clay, is a naturally occurring hydrated aluminum silicate mineral (kaolinite). It is characterized by its fine particle size, high purity, white color, and soft texture. Kaolin is chemically inert, thermally stable, and has excellent dielectric properties, making it highly versatile for a broad range of industrial and commercial applications.

Our Kaolin products are selectively mined and refined to meet various specification levels β€” from high-purity cosmetic and pharmaceutical grades to functional industrial and construction uses.

Applications:
Kaolin Clay is widely used in:

  • Paper Industry:
    As a filler and coating pigment to improve brightness, opacity, and printability
  • Ceramics:
    Main raw material in porcelain, sanitaryware, tiles, tableware, and refractories
  • Paints & Coatings:
    Enhances coverage, texture, and sheen control
  • Rubber & Plastics:
    Acts as a functional filler improving strength, smoothness, and barrier properties
  • Cosmetics & Pharmaceuticals:
    Used in powders, facial masks, and medicinal creams due to its absorbency and gentleness
  • Construction Materials:
    Component of white cement, plasters, and adhesives
  • Agriculture:
    Carrier for pesticides and fungicides; anti-caking agent in fertilizers
