Kaolin

Kaolin, also known as china clay, is one of the most important non-metallic minerals, primarily composed of the mineral kaolinite (Al₂Si₂O₅(OH)₄). Due to its white color, stable chemical properties, suitable plasticity, and heat resistance, it is recognized as a widely used raw material in various industries. Kaolin has extensive applications in ceramics, paper, rubber, paints, and refractories, and due to its high purity and excellent physical properties, it holds a special position in the mineral market.

Features

• White color and high brightness
• Suitable heat resistance
• Stable and neutral chemical properties
• Good plasticity in shaping processes
• Ability to absorb and improve surface quality of products

Applications

• Ceramics and porcelain industry (tiles, tableware, and glazes)
• As a filler and coating agent in the paper industry
• Used in paints, rubber, and plastics
• Raw material for producing refractories and thermal insulators
• Applications in chemical and pharmaceutical industries
