Kaolin
Alâ‚‚Siâ‚‚Oâ‚…(OH)â‚„
Primary white clay mineral supplied for ceramic bodies, paper coatings, paints, and specialty industrial applications.
Overview
Kaolin is a fine-grained white clay mineral with low plasticity, high whiteness, and chemical inertness. It is the foundational raw material for porcelain, bone china, and technical ceramic bodies, providing the alumino-silicate framework essential for fired strength and dimensional stability. Its brightness, controlled particle size, and clean-burning character make it indispensable across ceramics, paper, and coatings industries.
