About Kaolin

Kaolin also known as china clay, is a white commercial clay consisting predominantly of the mineral kaolinite, a hydrated aluminosilicate formed by chemical weathering of alluminium silicate minerals.

Kaolin is commercially valued for its whiteness and fine particle size which distinguish it from other clays. In addition to that other physical characteristics that influence commercial utility include brightness, glossiness, abrasiveness and viscosity etc. Kaolin is produced and consumed by many industries in crude & processed forms.
