Kaolin

What is Kaolin?

Kaolin clay is a naturally occurring, white, hydrated alumina-silicate mineral. It has little value in raw form. To become a value added product, it must be processed with calcinations process.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

Possesses desirable optical properties (brightness and whiteness)
Chemically inert
Relatively inexpensive when compared with other mineral pigments.
High oil absorption
High Temperature Resistance
Low TDS
Low Chlorides

Application of Kaolin

In cosmetics, kaolin is compounded into products which are not absorbed by the human body. Kaolin clay has high oil absorption capacity and it is suitable as Foundation compound ,semi fine powder to produce and maintain the right size and shape spectrum and controlled particle size distribution thus avoiding the clogging of skin pores and there by maintaining normal body functions of perspiration etc.

Kaolin has desired optimal Properties (brightness and whiteness) and provides good opacity is the key applicable in paint and coating industries. Kaolin one of the cost effective extender pigments in paint industrywhichspaceTio2 more efficiently.

Kaolin clay is used as coating/Glazing of Vitrified Tiles/sanitarily wear. The physical and processing properties enhance the coating and glazing process efficiently. Igh temperature resistance and plasticity of the kaolin clay is consider to be primary material for coating and glazing process.

Kaolin clay is typically used to reduce rubber compound cost while improving physical or processing properties. Rubber filler clays kaolin are classified as either “hard” or “soft” in relation to their particle size and stiffening affect in rubber. Kaolin imparts high modulus, high tensile strength, stiffness, and good abrasion resistance to rubber compounds. Kaolin clay provides excellent dielectric and water resistance properties can suitable in wire and cable covering.
