Kaolin, also known as china clay, is a soft, white, fine-textured mineral composed mainly of aluminum silicate. It is formed through the natural weathering of feldspar-rich rocks and is valued for its purity, chemical stability, and non-abrasive nature.
Its chemical composition is primarily aluminum silicate, with the formula: Al₂Si₂O₅(OH)₄.
Kaolin’s unique combination of brightness, smoothness, and absorbency makes it an essential material across multiple industries.
APPLICATIONS OF KAOLIN
1. Ceramics
Used in the production of pottery, porcelain, tiles, and sanitary ware due to its high fusion temperature, plasticity, and whiteness.
2. Paper Coating & Filling
Kaolin enhances paper quality by increasing brightness, opacity, printability, and surface smoothness, making it ideal for premium paper products.
3. Cosmetics & Personal Care
Its gentle, non-abrasive, and absorbent nature makes kaolin suitable for face masks, powders, skin creams, and toothpaste.
