Kaolin / China Clay
Kaolin / China Clay
China Clay is a hydrated aluminium silicate crystalline mineral produced by the hydrothermal decomposition of accessible granite rocks. It is a white soft mineral prepared chiefly as Kaolinite mineral which has a definite chemical composition with some amounts of quartz, feldspar and sheet silicate minerals like mica, illite, and smectite.
Hard and soft clays are categorized by its finer particle size, platy particle shape, and chemically composed inertness. Clays having fine particle size are showcased as hard clay.
Characteristics of Kaolin / China Clay
- Free from impurities
- High casting rate
- Exclusive particle size
- Low finishing costs
- Enhances brightness and opacity
- Exceptional fired whiteness
- Low residue
- Good unfired strength
Typical Physical Properties of Kaolin / China Clay
China Clay is chemically denoted as Al2,(Si2O5)(OH)4. Pure China Clay is processed by weathering or hydro thermal alteration of felspathic rocks. High grade china clay deposits are present in West Bengal, Orissa, Rajasthan, M.P. & Gujarat.
Key Usage of Kaolin / China Clay
China Clay is highly used in Paints, Pigments, Rubber, Polymers, Ceramics, Insulation, Paper & Boards, Printing Inks, Pesticides, Detergent, Fiberglass and Pharmaceutical Industry.
