Kaolin clay, also known as China clay, is a naturally occurring mineral composed of Aluminum Silicate (Al2O3.2SiO2.2H2O). This versatile material, renowned for its platy structure, comes in two primary forms: Hydrous Kaolin and Calcined Kaolin.
Calcined Kaolin undergoes a high-temperature process to remove water molecules, resulting in a high-purity material with increased opacity, whiteness, and brightness. As a result, it is widely used in industries like paints, ink, cosmetics, plastics, paper, and wire & cable. Notably, it can replace up to 20% of Titanium Dioxide in both water- and solvent-based semi-gloss paints.
On the other hand, Hydrous Kaolin retains its water molecules, offering fine particle size, softness, and high elasticity. This makes it an excellent filler in applications such as paints, ink, rubber, and agrochemicals. With its unique properties, kaolin clay remains an essential material across various industries.
