Detailed Product Description

Profile:
  Kaolin is a kind of finely-ground clay mainly produced from minerals in the kaolinite group. It is widely used in paper, coatings, paints, paint thickeners, pigments, color stabilizers, catalyst carriers, as an insulating agent in cosmetics, in electronic elements and inks, and as a reinforcing agent in rubber and plastics. It can partially replace titanium white. It outperforms titanium white in terms of surface activity and adsorption. In paints and coatings, it can improve viscosity stability, enhance resistance to rock abrasion, improve brushability and moisture resistance, and prevent pavement floating and blooming.

Uses:
1) In ceramics: 
Kaolin  offers good plasticity, adhesion, and sintering performance. Kaolin products are white, fine-textured, and mechanically strong. It can be used to make high and low piezoelectric ceramics; other uses include various ceramic blanks and glazes, and various kinds of fire-resistant materials. 

2)In paints and coatings: 
Kaolin is used as a body pigment and multifunctional additive in place of lithopone and titanium white, and it is suitable in any paint or coating system. It provides high brightness and covering ability in paints and coatings, and can improve paint storage stability, brushability, and durability, and can enhance the impact resistance and other mechanical performance of paint and coating layers. 

3)In oil-based paints and plastics: 
The addition of kaolin can improve the suspension, viscosity, adhesion, and high-temperature firing performance of enamel glaze. It can also insure that a fired enamel glaze adheres tightly to an iron body. 

4)In rubber: 
Aluminum silicate carbon black made using coal-measure kaolin and subjected to surface modification can greatly enhance reinforcement of rubber, and is used in auto tires and EPDM, etc. This filler can even surpass the reinforcing performance of carbon black and white carbon black in certain respects. 

5)In papermaking: 
Besides good covering power and luster, kaolin can also yield excellent softness and depth and good printability. Kaolin is chiefly used in coated paper, copper printing paper, coated white cardboard, and cast coated paper.
